A lively hand-drawn print with brush-pen modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes swing between hairline entry/exit flicks and fuller downstrokes, creating a distinctly calligraphic rhythm without connecting letters. Proportions are compact with a relatively small x-height, tall ascenders, and energetic, slightly irregular curves; counters are often pinched or egg-shaped, and many forms show sharp hooks or beak-like endings. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a crafted, ink-on-paper texture.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are an asset—book and album covers, posters, short headlines, event collateral, and artisanal or boutique branding. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers, but its irregular stroke energy is likely to feel busy in long, small-size body text.
The font feels literary and characterful, with an old-world, storybook tone and a hint of theatrical flourish. Its playful irregularity and sharp brush flicks give it an expressive, slightly mischievous personality that reads as handmade rather than strictly formal.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive brush lettering in a readable, unconnected print style, balancing calligraphic contrast with informal construction. Its goal seems to be distinctive, narrative-driven typography that adds charm and handcrafted character to prominent text.
Uppercase forms are especially animated, with prominent swashes and asymmetric stress that can create distinctive word shapes in titles. Numerals follow the same drawn, slightly uneven logic, with elegant curves and occasional exaggerated terminals that prioritize personality over neutrality.
