A lively, slightly slanted roman with a hand-cut, inked texture and subtly uneven contours. Strokes show moderate contrast and frequent flaring at terminals, creating small wedge-like serifs and teardrop joins. The letterforms feel compact with a low x-height, rounded bowls, and a gently variable rhythm from glyph to glyph, as if drawn with a broad, slightly dry pen. Curves and horizontals wobble just enough to read as handmade while maintaining consistent proportions across the set.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are assets: headlines, titles, packaging, labels, and book or editorial covers. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when set generously, but the rough edges and compact lowercase suggest prioritizing larger sizes for clarity.
The overall tone is warm and characterful, mixing old-world craft with a playful, storybook charm. Its roughened edges and calligraphic flare suggest heritage printing, hand-lettered signage, and informal tradition rather than polished modern minimalism.
This design appears intended to evoke hand-crafted calligraphy with a lightly distressed, print-like finish—balancing legibility with expressive, traditional letterforms for distinctive, character-forward typography.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and decorative, with pronounced flares on letters like T, V, W, and Y; the lowercase keeps a friendly, rounded texture and simple, readable shapes. Numerals match the same carved/inked feel, with slightly idiosyncratic curves that reinforce the handmade personality.
