A quirky italic serif with gently calligraphic construction and a deliberately uneven rhythm. Strokes are smooth and rounded with softened, bracketed serifs and modest modulation, giving letters a slightly hand-drawn feel without becoming script. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph—some forms feel narrow and upright while others splay wider—creating an irregular, characterful texture. Lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies (notably a single-storey “a” and “g”), and the figures appear lining with similarly idiosyncratic shapes.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where personality is an asset: posters, book covers, whimsical branding, packaging, and editorial headlines or pull quotes. In longer paragraphs it will read as intentionally characterful, making it a good choice for narrative, humor, or boutique concepts rather than quiet body copy.
The overall tone is playful and literary, like a storybook or eccentric editorial voice. Its wobbly elegance reads as friendly and humorous rather than formal, with enough serif tradition to feel familiar while still coming across as offbeat.
Likely designed to inject charm and eccentricity into classic italic serif conventions, combining familiar book-type cues with intentional irregularities to feel human, playful, and distinctive.
The italic slant is consistent, but terminals and serifs vary in angle and length, contributing to a lively, slightly unpredictable color in paragraphs. Large counters and rounded joins help maintain clarity, though the irregular widths and distinctive letterforms make it more expressive than neutral.
