A serif typeface with gently flared stroke endings and a subtly calligraphic construction. Strokes show modest contrast with tapered joins and soft, rounded curves, while terminals often finish in small wedge-like points rather than hard brackets. Proportions are slightly irregular in a controlled way, giving the alphabet an uneven, hand-shaped rhythm; curves (C, G, O) feel open and circular, and diagonals (V, W, Y) resolve into sharp, tapered tips. The lowercase is compact and readable with rounded bowls and a single-storey a, and the numerals carry the same flared, slightly old-style modeling.
Well-suited to display and short-to-medium reading contexts where personality is desired, such as book covers, chapter openers, editorial headlines, posters, and boutique branding or packaging. It can also work for pull quotes and signage where a crafted, vintage-leaning tone supports the message.
The overall tone is warm and characterful, suggesting a literary, old-world sensibility with a playful edge. Its gentle irregularity and tapered details give it a crafted, hand-inked feel rather than a strictly engineered one.
Likely designed to evoke a traditional, hand-influenced serif voice by combining classical letterforms with flared, tapered finishing and a deliberately lively rhythm. The intent appears to balance readability with an expressive, storybook-like texture.
In text, the face maintains clear word shapes while adding movement through subtle asymmetries and lively terminals. The flaring at the ends of stems and the slightly varied stroke modulation create texture that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes.
