This is a calligraphic, hand-drawn roman with slender strokes and gently tapered, brush-like modulation. Letters show flared and wedge-like terminals rather than crisp, constructed serifs, giving stems and joins a slightly carved or inked look. Curves are open and somewhat angular in places, with pointed tips and occasional asymmetry that keeps the texture lively. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, producing an organic rhythm in text while remaining legible and generally consistent in baseline and cap height.
It performs best in display contexts such as fantasy or historical titles, book covers, posters, and packaging where a handcrafted voice is desired. Short passages and pull quotes can work well at comfortable sizes, but the irregular stroke endings and narrow proportions are likely to read best with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone feels medieval and storybook-like, with a faintly mystical, old-world character. Its hand-inked irregularities suggest parchment, fantasy settings, and decorative titling rather than contemporary corporate polish.
The design appears intended to emulate formal hand lettering—unconnected, roman-style characters drawn with a pen or brush—capturing the texture of ink, tapered pressure, and subtle irregularity while keeping familiar letterforms for readability.
Uppercase forms have a display-like presence with dramatic diagonals and sharp apexes, while lowercase retains a simple, readable structure with calligraphic tapering. Numerals follow the same drawn rhythm, with distinctive, slightly curving strokes and pointed terminals that match the alphabet.
