A lively, calligraphic serif with a consistent rightward slant and gently modulated strokes. Forms are narrow and vertically oriented, with bracketed, flared serifs that read more like pen-finished terminals than rigid, mechanical slabs. Curves and joins have a slightly irregular, hand-drawn rhythm, and counters tend toward oval and tapered shapes. Lowercase combines casual, cursive-like elements (notably in a, e, g, y) with serif structure, while capitals retain a compact, upright presence with subtle swelling and tapered ends.
Best suited to display typography where its slanted, pen-cut serif details can be appreciated—book covers, editorial headlines, posters, packaging, and boutique branding. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, but its lively irregularity favors titles and emphasis over long-form text.
The overall tone is playful and story-driven, blending vintage bookish manners with a handmade, slightly mischievous energy. It feels informal yet curated—more eccentric than formal—suggesting personality and warmth rather than strict tradition.
Likely designed to evoke a handcrafted, slightly antiquarian voice—combining serif heritage with calligraphic motion to deliver a distinctive, characterful texture for expressive typography.
The face shows intentionally uneven stroke endings and small idiosyncrasies across letters, which adds charm but makes the texture more expressive than neutral. Numerals follow the same pen-like finishing and maintain a compact, decorative presence suitable for display settings.
