A wedge-serifed serif with gently flared stroke endings and a subtly calligraphic construction. Stems taper and swell slightly, creating a softly uneven rhythm without strong thick–thin contrast. Curves are rounded yet a bit angular at joins, and terminals often finish with small, chiseled wedges rather than flat cuts. The lowercase is compact and readable, with open counters and modest ascenders/descenders, while capitals feel slightly irregular in silhouette, reinforcing a hand-shaped texture.
Best suited to display roles where its flared details and handcrafted rhythm can be appreciated—headlines, titles, book covers, posters, and packaging. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when you want a warm, historic feel, but its expressive irregularities are most effective in larger sizes and limited text.
The overall tone is whimsical and old-world, with a friendly, storybook character. Its lively irregularities and wedge-like details evoke hand lettering and printed folklore aesthetics rather than strict modern neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif forms through a flared, hand-tooled lens—balancing readability with a deliberately quirky, human texture. It aims to provide an approachable, characterful alternative to more formal book serifs.
In text, the face maintains steady color and legibility, but the asymmetric flares and slightly varied forms add movement that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. Numerals and punctuation share the same tapered, wedge-ended logic, helping headings and short lines feel cohesive and distinctive.
