A calligraphic, hand-drawn serif with sturdy, inked strokes and gently bracketed, flared terminals. The letterforms show subtle tapering and swelling, with rounded joins and softened corners that keep the texture approachable rather than sharp. Proportions are lively and slightly irregular, with varied widths and a rhythmic, written feel across the alphabet. Lowercase forms are compact and well-knit, while capitals have a slightly ornamental presence without becoming overly elaborate.
This style performs well in short to medium-length display settings such as headlines, book and album covers, packaging, posters, and brand marks that want an artisanal voice. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers where a personable, classic feel is desired.
The font conveys a warm, storybook tone with a hint of vintage print character. Its soft serif treatment and human irregularities feel friendly and crafted, suggesting hand-inked lettering meant to be read with personality rather than clinical neutrality.
The design appears intended to blend formal calligraphic structure with a handmade, inked texture—delivering a readable serif voice that feels crafted, slightly nostalgic, and expressive in display typography.
The numerals are robust and rounded, matching the soft terminal treatment seen in the letters. Overall spacing reads open and comfortable in the sample text, producing a dark, even typographic color that stays energetic due to the subtle handmade variance.
