A narrow, hand-drawn roman with calligraphic cues: tapered joins, subtly swelling strokes, and soft, rounded terminals that feel inked rather than mechanically drawn. The letterforms show small, bracket-like serif flicks and occasional teardrop-like endings, creating a lively baseline rhythm and a slightly irregular, handcrafted texture. Proportions are tall and compact, with long ascenders/descenders and relatively small lowercase bodies; counters stay open enough for display use, while the overall silhouette remains tightly set and vertical.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, book or chapter titles, labels, and branding that benefits from an artisanal, vintage-leaning voice. It can work well for themed materials (events, cafés, boutiques, games) where character and atmosphere matter more than dense reading comfort.
The tone reads storybook and old-fashioned, with a whimsical, slightly spooky parlor-poster charm. Its handmade irregularities and inky edges give it warmth and personality, leaning toward nostalgic, theatrical, and craft-oriented messaging rather than clean corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-rendered, calligraphic signage in a compact, vertical footprint—balancing decorative serif-like flicks with an inked, informal texture to create strong personality at larger sizes.
Capital forms are especially decorative and distinctive, with curved entry/exit strokes that add flair without connecting letters. Numerals follow the same narrow, inked construction and keep a consistent, quirky rhythm suited to headings and short callouts.
