A lively serif with clear calligraphic influence, showing subtly irregular, hand-cut contours and gently flared, bracketed serifs. Strokes carry a mild diagonal stress and moderate contrast, with soft joins and slightly tapered terminals that keep the forms from feeling rigid. Proportions are comfortable and readable: rounded bowls are generous, counters stay open, and the spacing creates an easy, rolling rhythm in both upper- and lowercase. The numerals echo the same warm shaping, with rounded figures and modest stroke modulation.
Well-suited to longer passages where a human, literary texture is desirable, such as book interiors, editorial features, and cultural or heritage-themed materials. It also works effectively for packaging, boutique branding, and invitations where a crafted, slightly playful serif can add personality without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a lightly whimsical, old-world character. Its hand-touched texture suggests craft and tradition rather than strict formality, making it feel inviting and narrative-minded.
The design appears intended to blend old-style readability with a hand-rendered, calligraphic warmth, creating a familiar serif voice that feels less mechanical and more expressive in text.
Uppercase forms lean toward classical, slightly decorative silhouettes, while the lowercase brings more motion through curved shoulders and varied terminal shapes. The face retains good clarity in continuous text, where its unevenness reads as intentional texture rather than distortion.
