A compact, dark serif with strongly calligraphic construction and a gently uneven, hand-shaped rhythm. Stems are sturdy and slightly tapered, with flared, bracketed serifs and rounded, swelling terminals that give the letterforms a carved or brush-cut feel. Curves are full and slightly squarish in places, counters are moderately open, and joins show subtle ink-like modulation rather than rigid geometry. Numerals match the text color and share the same soft, lively finishing, keeping the overall texture dense but readable at display sizes.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where its heavy color and decorative serif shaping can be appreciated—such as headlines, book and album covers, posters, artisanal packaging, café/restaurant menus, and branding marks. It can work for brief passages when set with generous leading, but its dense texture favors larger sizes over small UI text.
The font conveys a friendly, old-world charm—more whimsical than formal—suggesting storytelling, craft, and boutique tradition. Its confident weight and soft finishing feel inviting and human, with a lightly theatrical tone suited to expressive headlines.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with hand-rendered calligraphic personality, delivering a compact, high-impact display face that feels crafted rather than mechanical. Its soft flare and ink-like modulation aim to add warmth and narrative character to titles and branding.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and decorative, while lowercase maintains a consistent calligraphic cadence with rounded shoulders and distinctive flared endings. The overall spacing feels tight and compact, producing a strong typographic color and an intentionally characterful silhouette.
