A decorative serif with gently flared, bracketed serifs and subtly tapered strokes that feel lightly inked rather than mechanically even. The outlines are clean but not sterile, with small irregularities in terminal shaping that give the letters a lively, hand-cut impression. Capitals are tall and slightly condensed with distinctive, curving serifs, while lowercase forms maintain a steady x-height and readable counters. Numerals echo the same soft, flared terminals and modest modulation, keeping the overall texture consistent across text.
Best suited to display settings such as book covers, chapter titles, posters, packaging, labels, and short editorial headlines where its personality can be appreciated. It can work for brief passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, but it is most effective when used to add a vintage, story-like voice rather than for dense body copy.
The tone is playful and old-fashioned, evoking storybooks, folk printing, and casual vintage signage. Its soft, flaring details and slightly quirky proportions add warmth and personality without becoming chaotic, making it feel friendly and characterful.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with a handcrafted, whimsical finish—keeping familiar letterforms while adding soft flares and distinctive terminals for a vintage, narrative-friendly presence.
In running text the font produces a varied, animated rhythm: serifs and terminals create small directional cues, and the narrow fit keeps lines compact. Curved letters (like C, S, and O) show gentle swelling at ends, reinforcing the handmade, decorative serif character.
