A lively, slanted calligraphic serif with brush-like modulation and soft, tapered terminals. Strokes show a gentle thick–thin rhythm and frequent flare at joins, giving letters a sculpted, slightly bouncy silhouette. Counters are rounded and open, while capitals lean into broad, curved forms with occasional swash-like entry and exit strokes. Overall spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, hand-rendered cadence across words and lines.
Best suited to display and short text applications where personality is desired: headlines, book or album covers, event materials, invitations, and brand marks with a handcrafted, classical flavor. It can also work for pull quotes or opening paragraphs when set with generous leading and moderate tracking to preserve its rhythmic texture.
The font projects an old-world, storybook tone—formal enough to feel traditional, yet playful in its irregular rhythm and animated curves. Its italic movement and soft terminals lend a warm, personable voice with a touch of theatrical flair.
The design appears intended to capture a formal, pen-and-brush calligraphy feel in an unconnected alphabet, balancing traditional serif structure with hand-drawn variation. It prioritizes expressive gesture and historical charm over strict typographic regularity, aiming to create a distinctive voice in titles and decorative text.
Capitals are notably more expressive than the lowercase, with prominent curves and heavier mass that make them effective for initial caps and short display settings. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with rounded forms and angled stress that blend naturally with text. At smaller sizes, the lively stroke endings and variable widths may become busier, while at moderate-to-large sizes the brush character reads clearly.
