A calligraphic, hand-drawn serif with soft, brush-like modulation and gently flared terminals. Strokes are rounded and slightly uneven in a controlled way, with a subtle wobble that keeps the texture lively while remaining legible. Forms lean on open counters and broad curves, and the serif treatment often reads as tapered hooks rather than sharp slabs. Capitals are decorative but not overly ornate, and the numerals share the same flowing, slightly varied stroke finish.
This font suits short-to-medium display settings where personality matters: titles, posters, packaging, invitations, and book or chapter headings. It can also work for pull quotes or brand accents when you want a handcrafted, friendly tone, but the lively stroke behavior is best showcased at moderate to larger sizes.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a storybook and artisanal character. Its bouncy rhythm and softened terminals feel approachable and a little nostalgic, suggesting hand-lettered signage or illustrated titles rather than strict editorial typography.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of formal, pen-inspired lettering while keeping the shapes relaxed and personable. It prioritizes expressive terminals and an organic rhythm to add charm and narrative warmth to display typography.
Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a hand-rendered cadence. The ink-like endings and occasional swelling in curves create a pleasing, organic texture, especially in mixed-case text where the rounded lowercase and expressive capitals play off each other.
