A hand-drawn, print-style serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and a slightly irregular rhythm. Strokes taper into fine hairlines with teardrop terminals and occasional wedge-like feet, while counters stay open and lightly rounded. Proportions are condensed overall, with tall ascenders/descenders and a noticeably small x-height, giving the lowercase a wiry, vertical feel. Letterforms vary subtly in width and stroke placement, reinforcing an organic, penned construction rather than rigid geometry.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short-to-medium bursts of text where its high-contrast strokes and quirky modulation can be appreciated. It works well for book covers, editorial display, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from an informal, crafted voice; in small sizes or dense UI text, the fine hairlines may feel delicate.
The tone is whimsical and literary, evoking storybooks, folk art, and boutique craft branding. Its lively contrast and gently uneven texture feel personable and expressive, adding a sense of charm and curiosity to short phrases and headings.
The design appears intended to translate pen-and-ink character into a tidy, unconnected print alphabet: expressive and decorative, yet structured enough for readable display typography. Its condensed proportions and pronounced contrast seem aimed at creating an elegant, handcrafted presence without becoming fully script-like.
The uppercase has a display-like presence with slender stems and occasional flourished joins, while the lowercase maintains readability through clear silhouettes and generous interior space. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing simple, upright structures with softly curved strokes for a cohesive, handmade texture.
