A robust calligraphic serif with rounded, ink-like shaping and gently flared, wedge-style serifs. Strokes show subtle modulation and softened corners, giving counters a slightly squarish, hand-cut feel rather than a rigid geometric one. The uppercase forms are broad and stable with pronounced feet and tapered joins, while lowercase letters lean into bulbous bowls and friendly, curved terminals. Overall spacing and rhythm feel lively and slightly irregular in a controlled way, producing a textured word shape across lines.
Best suited to headlines and short to medium text blocks where its strong color and distinctive serifs can be appreciated. It works well for book covers, packaging, and branding that want a traditional, handcrafted feel, and it can add character to pull quotes or section headers in editorial layouts.
The tone is warm and classic, with a lightly whimsical, old-world flavor reminiscent of traditional signage and storybook titling. Its soft, carved-ink character reads approachable rather than formal, adding personality without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to blend calligraphic warmth with sturdy, readable serif structures, offering a dependable display face that still feels drawn and human. Its forms aim to create a consistent, bold texture while keeping a playful, vintage-leaning personality.
The numerals match the letterforms with rounded curves and pronounced stroke endings, maintaining an even, display-oriented color. The texture is strong at larger sizes, where the flared serifs and tapered joins become a defining feature.
