A high-contrast serif with gently bracketed, flared serifs and softly swelling stems that suggest a calligraphic tool rather than rigid geometry. Letterforms show mild irregularities and tapered stroke endings, giving a hand-touched rhythm while remaining clearly structured. Counters are generally open and rounded, and many joins and terminals curl or hook subtly, producing an animated texture in text. Capitals are slightly narrow and varied in presence, while lowercase forms keep a readable, traditional skeleton with expressive details.
Well-suited to display roles such as book and chapter titles, pull quotes, posters, and packaging where a handcrafted, vintage-leaning voice is desirable. It can also work for short editorial passages when a textured, expressive serif is intended, especially at sizes that let the fine hairlines and shaped serifs remain clear.
The overall tone feels storybook and lightly antique—warm, personable, and a bit mischievous. Its uneven, hand-inked energy adds charm and character, evoking vintage print, folk craft, or whimsical editorial styling rather than strict formality.
The font appears designed to blend classical serif structure with decorative, hand-rendered nuance—delivering readability with a distinctive, crafted personality. Its contrast and terminal play seem intended to create memorable word shapes and a lively typographic rhythm in display contexts.
The design’s character comes through in distinctive terminals and occasional spur-like protrusions, plus notable variance in how wide different letters feel, which creates a lively color across lines. Numerals and punctuation match the same high-contrast, calligraphic flavor, supporting display setting and short passages where texture is a feature.
