A calligraphic, hand-drawn roman with softly flared terminals and a brushed, slightly uneven stroke that gives each letter an organic feel. Capitals are expressive and wide-gestured, with occasional hooked entries and subtle swashes (notably in forms like Q, R, and J), while the lowercase stays simpler and narrow with a modest, short-bodied presence. Stroke endings often taper to fine points, and curves show small inflections that mimic pen pressure and direction changes. Spacing and sidebearings feel intentionally loose and variable, contributing to a lively rhythm in words and lines.
This style suits display-forward applications such as book covers, chapter titles, packaging, event materials, and boutique branding where a handcrafted, traditional flavor is desired. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable leading and restrained use of all-caps.
The overall tone is charming and a bit old-world, combining a formal calligraphic sensibility with playful, human irregularities. It suggests handcrafted lettering—warm, approachable, and slightly theatrical—without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to evoke pen-drawn calligraphy in a roman structure, balancing legibility with expressive terminals and occasional flourish. Its mix of animated capitals and restrained lowercase suggests a focus on decorative headings and characterful text settings.
In text, the decorative capitals create strong emphasis and can dominate the line, while the lowercase maintains readability through clear, open counters. Numerals follow the same brushed, flared logic with gently stylized shapes that feel consistent with the letters.
