A lightly built serif with moderate stroke modulation and a deliberately irregular, hand-drawn rhythm. Serifs are small and often bracketed, with occasional flared or tapered joins that give the outlines a gently calligraphic feel. Curves are slightly uneven and the verticals can subtly lean or bulge, producing lively texture in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same airy construction, with open counters and delicate finishing strokes that keep the overall color bright and crisp.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a distinctive serif voice is desired, such as magazine features, pull quotes, and cultural or literary branding. It also works effectively for book covers, posters, and packaging that benefit from a whimsical, vintage-leaning texture, especially at display sizes where the subtle irregularities can be appreciated.
The tone is quirky and literary, evoking storybook printing and offbeat editorial typography rather than formal classicism. Its uneven cadence reads as personable and slightly mischievous, adding character without turning into full-on display novelty.
The design appears intended to blend readability with personality, using familiar serif structures as a base while introducing hand-cut, slightly eccentric details. It aims to provide a decorative, characterful alternative to conventional text serifs for expressive editorial and branding contexts.
Uppercase forms are relatively tall with restrained, sometimes asymmetric detailing, while the lowercase shows the strongest personality in terminals and curved strokes. The font maintains consistent spacing and proportions across the set, but keeps a handcrafted feel through small variations in curve tension and serif shapes.
