A calligraphic, hand-drawn serif with soft, rounded bowls and tapered terminals that often flare into small spurs. Strokes feel brush- or pen-led rather than mechanical, with gentle modulation and slightly irregular widths that create a lively rhythm. Capitals are expressive and sculpted, mixing broad curves with angled joins and wedge-like finishing strokes, while the lowercase stays compact with a notably short x-height and prominent ascenders/descenders. Numerals are open and rounded, keeping the same tapered endings and slightly playful proportions.
Well suited to titles, chapter heads, posters, and branding that benefits from a handcrafted, historical or fantasy-leaning voice. It also works for packaging and signage where distinctive capitals and a calligraphic rhythm can carry the design. For longer text, it’s best used at comfortable sizes where the short x-height and tapered details remain clear.
The overall tone is storybook and old-world, with a lightly theatrical, medieval-leaning charm. Its curved forms and flared endings give it a friendly, crafted warmth rather than a strict classical formality. The uneven, hand-rendered cadence adds personality and a subtle sense of motion.
This design appears intended to evoke formal hand lettering with a lightly decorative, old-world character. The goal seems to balance readability with personality by pairing rounded, approachable shapes with flared, calligraphic terminals and expressive capitals.
Several letters show distinctive, decorative construction—such as looped or hooked entry/exit strokes, angled cross-strokes, and wedge terminals—giving the texture a display-first feel. Spacing and letterforms read comfortably in short passages, but the ornamented capitals and brisk, compact lowercase suggest it’s meant to be seen, not to disappear.
