A delicate, slanted serif with a hand-drawn, calligraphic construction. Strokes are thin and even, with gently bracketed, slab-like serifs and slightly rounded terminals that soften the joins. The rhythm is lively and irregular in a controlled way, showing subtle stroke wobble, varied entry/exit flicks, and a lightly uneven baseline feel. Counters are open and the overall color stays airy, with compact lowercase proportions and expressive capitals that carry modest flourishes.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where its delicate strokes and handmade personality can be appreciated—such as book covers, chapter openers, invitations, artisanal packaging, and editorial pull quotes. It can also work for posters and branding when a refined, old-world feel is desired, but benefits from comfortable sizes and generous spacing to preserve clarity.
The tone feels whimsical and literary—more like ink on paper than a mechanical text face. It reads as vintage and slightly eccentric, suggesting personal correspondence, fairytale headings, or a curated, boutique aesthetic rather than corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to merge a classic serif foundation with a human, pen-drawn touch—keeping familiar letterforms while adding gentle quirks, soft terminals, and expressive serifing for warmth and personality.
Capitals are prominent and characterful, while the lowercase maintains a simpler, legible skeleton with occasional decorative hooks. Numerals match the same light, handwritten logic, including curved strokes and small finishing flicks that keep the set consistent in texture.
