A serifed, calligraphic text face with gently flared, brush-like strokes and moderate thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show slight irregularity in stroke endings and curve tension, creating a hand-drawn rhythm while remaining consistently constructed. Serifs are often wedge-like or softly bracketed, with occasional tapered terminals and subtly swollen verticals. Proportions are classical with a relatively short x-height and expressive ascenders/descenders, and widths vary noticeably across characters for an organic color on the line.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium text where a narrative, artisanal voice is desired—such as book covers, chapter openers, posters, invitations, and boutique packaging. It can also work for readable quotation setting when given comfortable size and spacing to let the modulation and varied widths breathe.
The overall tone feels literary and old-world, like hand-inked type used in fables or period settings. Its lively modulation and quirky details add warmth and personality, balancing refinement with a lightly playful, crafted character.
The design appears intended to evoke formal calligraphy translated into type: structured serif forms enriched by humanized stroke behavior and subtle irregularities. The goal seems to be a distinctive, period-leaning texture that adds character and charm to editorial and branding applications.
Capitals are prominent and decorative without becoming ornate, making initials and short headings stand out. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same inked logic, with slightly uneven curves and angled joins that reinforce the drawn-by-hand impression.
