A high-contrast serif with a lively, slightly irregular rhythm and a subtly calligraphic construction. Stems are generally sturdy but taper into sharp, wedge-like terminals and small bracketed serifs, with occasional flaring that suggests an inked or pen-drawn origin. Curves are a touch lumpy and organic rather than perfectly geometric, and the fit is uneven in a deliberate way—some letters feel narrow and upright while others open out, giving the overall texture a handcrafted, variable cadence.
Best suited to display typography where character is an asset: book covers, editorial headlines, boutique branding, packaging, posters, and themed titling. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when a warm, vintage voice is desired and generous spacing is available.
The tone is antique and storybook-like, mixing classical serif cues with playful eccentricities. Its slightly roughened, inked finish reads as human and expressive rather than neutral, evoking bookplates, folklore, and old printed ephemera.
The design appears intended to reinterpret an old-style serif through a decorative, hand-inked lens—preserving familiar letter structures while introducing irregularities, sharp terminals, and lively contrast to create a distinctive, period-evocative texture.
Uppercase forms lean tall and stately with distinctive, sometimes pointed terminals (notably in letters like A, V, W, and Y), while lowercase retains readability through clear counters and traditional proportions. Numerals match the same calligraphic contrast and slightly quirky detailing, keeping the set visually cohesive in both display and short text settings.
