A lively, handwritten italic with brush-like stroke endings and gently uneven curves that preserve a drawn-on-paper texture. Letterforms are semi-upright but consistently slanted, with modest stroke contrast and softly tapered terminals that occasionally flare. The rhythm is irregular in a controlled way: counters are open, joins are rounded, and widths vary from glyph to glyph, giving the line a natural, human cadence. Numerals and capitals share the same calligraphic logic, with slightly bouncy proportions and subtle baseline wobble that stays readable in continuous text.
It suits display and short-to-medium text where a crafted, human voice is desired—book and chapter titles, packaging labels, posters, greeting cards, and invitations. It can also work for pull quotes or headings in editorial layouts, especially when paired with a calmer serif or sans for body copy.
The overall tone feels warm and personal, like inked notes in a well-used book. Its slightly archaic, storybook flavor and expressive brush terminals add charm without becoming overly ornate, making it feel inviting and gently theatrical.
The design appears intended to capture the authenticity of hand-lettered calligraphy while maintaining enough consistency for practical typesetting. By balancing readable proportions with expressive terminals and variable character widths, it aims to deliver a personable, story-driven look that feels authored rather than manufactured.
Repeated strokes show consistent pressure changes, suggesting a broad, flexible tool rather than a geometric construction. Rounded forms (O, C, e) stay open and airy, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) retain a brisk, hand-led energy that keeps paragraphs from feeling rigid.
