A lively serif with softly flared, calligraphic stroke endings and pronounced bracketing that gives each letter an inked, hand-shaped feel. Strokes show gentle modulation with rounded joins and subtly tapered terminals, producing a rhythm that feels organic while remaining consistent across the set. Proportions are moderately wide with open counters, and the alphabet mixes sturdy verticals with curving, slightly irregular contours that read as intentionally drawn rather than mechanically rigid. Figures are similarly rounded and sturdy, matching the letterforms’ soft, slightly playful construction.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, titles, book covers, packaging, and brand marks where its hand-crafted serif details can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when a warm, classic voice is desired, especially at comfortable reading sizes.
The tone is warm and story-forward, suggesting traditional craftsmanship and a slightly nostalgic personality. Its soft serifs and buoyant curves create an inviting, friendly voice that can feel whimsical without becoming chaotic, balancing formality with approachability.
The design appears aimed at evoking hand-rendered, calligraphic letterforms in a structured serif framework—prioritizing charm, warmth, and a traditional feel while keeping letter shapes clear and familiar in continuous text.
Capital forms have a gentle, decorative presence with broadened terminals and subtle flourish, while lowercase maintains an easy, readable cadence with distinct, rounded shapes. The overall texture on a line is dark and even, with enough modulation and terminal shaping to keep large sizes expressive.
