This serif typeface has a calligraphic, old-style construction with noticeable stroke modulation and lightly irregular, hand-inked edges. Serifs are small and often bracketed or softly flared, with tapered joins and subtle swelling through curves and terminals. Proportions feel compact with a relatively low lowercase presence and generous ascenders, creating a lively vertical rhythm. Round letters are slightly oval and the overall spacing is open, while individual forms show gentle asymmetries that keep the texture animated rather than rigidly geometric.
It works well for book covers and chapter titles, boutique branding, packaging, and editorial display where a classic voice with handmade texture is desirable. At medium to larger sizes, the modulation and irregularities read as intentional craft, making it suitable for posters, invitations, and short passages of expressive text.
The tone is warm and characterful, evoking printed fables, period stationery, and handmade craft. Its slight wobble and tapered details add charm and approachability, balancing tradition with a playful, informal spirit.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional old-style serif letterforms through a more hand-rendered, slightly whimsical lens. It prioritizes warmth, texture, and personality over strict uniformity, aiming to feel human and historically inspired while remaining readable.
The capitals appear especially decorative, with nuanced terminals and varied widths that give headings a distinctive personality. Numerals follow the same drawn quality, with curving shapes and modest contrast that maintains continuity with the letters.
