A calligraphic, hand-drawn roman with flared, wedge-like serifs and subtly irregular stroke modulation that suggests a broad-nib pen. Strokes end in tapered points and soft hooks, with slightly uneven joins and a gently wavy baseline rhythm that keeps the texture lively. Capitals are relatively tall and open, with simple, classical construction softened by ink-like swelling and small spur details. Lowercase forms are compact with a modest x-height feel and varied proportions, while the numerals are rounded and old-style in character, matching the drawn, slightly uneven color on the page.
This font suits display applications where a handcrafted, old-world voice is desirable—book and chapter titles, posters, theatrical or festival materials, packaging, menus, and invitations. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when you want visible character and a calligraphic texture rather than a neutral reading experience.
The overall tone is storybook and historical, mixing medieval manuscript energy with a friendly, playful informality. It feels human and tactile—more like lettering for titles and labels than a strict, engineered text face.
The design appears intended to evoke formal hand-lettering with a historic, manuscript-like flavor while staying approachable and legible. Its controlled contrast and flared serifs aim for a classical foundation, with deliberate irregularities added to keep the tone personal and artisanal.
Spacing appears intentionally a bit loose and irregular, producing a textured, hand-set look in longer lines. Curves and terminals frequently show slight asymmetry, which reinforces the handmade impression without becoming hard to recognize.
