A calligraphic, hand-drawn serif with tapered strokes and pointed terminals that suggest a brush or broad-pen influence. Forms are compact with narrow proportions, a low x-height, and moderately tall ascenders and descenders that add vertical rhythm. Stroke joins show gentle swelling and occasional sharp wedge-like cuts, giving counters an irregular, organic edge while staying legible. The texture is lively and slightly uneven across curves and stems, with small flicks and spur-like details that read as intentional pen gestures rather than geometric construction.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text such as headlines, titles, posters, and packaging where its textured strokes can be appreciated. It can work well for book covers, fantasy or historical themes, invitations, and editorial pull quotes, but its lively detailing may become busy at very small sizes or in dense body copy.
The overall tone feels storybook and old-world, with a whimsical, folkloric charm. Its brisk, slightly spiky terminals and animated curves give it a handcrafted personality that can feel playful, mystical, or medieval depending on setting and copy.
The design appears intended to capture the look of formal hand lettering—structured enough for clear reading, yet intentionally irregular to preserve a drawn, human cadence. Its narrow, compact letterforms and decorative terminals aim to deliver strong atmosphere and character in display settings.
Uppercase letters lean toward decorative capitals with pronounced wedges and occasional exaggerated hooks, while the lowercase maintains a simpler, readable rhythm. Numerals follow the same tapered, calligraphic logic, with distinctive curves and angled cuts that keep them cohesive in display use.
