A serif text face with calligraphic, hand-drawn construction and visibly irregular contours. Strokes show modest modulation and slightly uneven terminals, with small, sharp bracketed serifs that often flare or nick at the ends. Bowls and arches are softly rounded but not perfectly symmetrical, creating a lively rhythm across words. Lowercase forms are compact with relatively small counters and a modestly tall ascender presence, while capitals are prominent and slightly decorative, helping headings feel distinctive without becoming blackletter.
Well suited to display and short-to-medium text where personality is a priority—book covers, chapter titles, fantasy or folklore-themed branding, posters, and packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or brief editorial passages when set with generous size and spacing to let the textured details breathe.
The overall tone feels old-world and storybook-like, with a rustic, lightly gothic edge. Its roughened, inked details give it a crafted, historical flavor that reads as quirky and characterful rather than formal or polished.
The design appears intended to evoke an antique, hand-rendered serif tradition with a deliberately imperfect finish. By combining warm old-style proportions with sharp, expressive serif details, it aims to deliver a distinctive narrative voice for themed typography.
In running text the texture becomes part of the voice: the uneven edges and pointed serif tips add sparkle, but also introduce visual noise at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same hand-cut feeling, with open, slightly irregular shapes that match the alphabet’s rhythm.
