A decorative serif with softly flared, wedge-like serifs and rounded terminals that give the strokes an inked, slightly blobby finish. The construction is upright with medium contrast and a gently irregular rhythm, as if drawn with a broad pen and then smoothed. Curves are generous and oval, joints often bulb slightly, and several letters show subtle asymmetries that keep the texture lively. Numerals follow the same playful, organic logic, with rounded ends and a readable, old-style feel.
Best suited to short to medium-length settings where personality is desired: headlines, titles, book covers, packaging, and boutique branding. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers in editorial contexts when paired with a calmer text companion.
The overall tone is storybook and folkloric—warm, approachable, and a bit mischievous rather than formal. Its softened serifs and bouncy curves suggest craft, tradition, and a lightly vintage atmosphere, making it feel more illustrative than strictly typographic.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable serif structure with an intentionally handcrafted, whimsical finish—prioritizing charm and distinctive letterforms over strict neutrality. It aims to evoke a traditional, narrative tone while remaining bold enough for display use.
Capitals are expressive and characterful, with distinctive silhouettes (notably in letters like A, Q, and W) that create a strong display presence. Lowercase maintains clear differentiation and good internal openness, but the decorative terminals and lively detailing become more prominent as sizes decrease.
