A wiry, hand-drawn roman with tall, slender proportions and a crisp, pen-and-ink feel. Strokes show noticeable modulation and slight wobble, with sharp, triangular terminals and occasional spur-like serifs that add a carved, scratchy texture. Curves are slightly uneven and counters stay relatively open, while spacing and widths vary subtly from letter to letter, reinforcing an organic rhythm. The lowercase appears small against long ascenders and lively capitals, and numerals follow the same lightly irregular, calligraphic construction.
Best suited to display and short to medium text where personality is desirable—book covers, chapter titles, posters, packaging, café menus, and artisanal branding. It can work for larger blocks in editorial or storybook settings, especially when generous leading and tracking are used to let the irregular rhythm breathe.
The overall tone is playful and a bit eccentric—like hand-lettering for a folktale, craft label, or whimsical notice. Its rough-edged elegance reads personable and old-fashioned without feeling formal, giving text a lively, human presence.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, expressive hand-lettering in a lightly calligraphic, print style—prioritizing charm, texture, and distinctive silhouettes over geometric uniformity. It aims to deliver a handcrafted, slightly antique voice that stands out in headings and characterful text.
Capitals have a distinctive, slightly theatrical silhouette (notably the narrow, peaked forms in A, M, N, and W), while round letters like O and Q stay airy and lightly drawn. The texture remains consistent across letters and figures, with small variations that feel intentional rather than mechanical.
