This serif has a lively, slightly idiosyncratic construction with tapered strokes and small flared, bracketed terminals that feel calligraphy-influenced rather than strictly geometric. Curves are soft and somewhat irregular, with subtle stroke modulation that gives letters a gently “inked” look. Proportions are generally compact, with narrow set widths and a steady baseline, while punctuation and figures follow the same tapered, old-style feeling for a cohesive texture in text.
Well-suited to book covers, chapter titles, and editorial display where a warm, narrative voice is helpful. It can also work for boutique branding and packaging that benefits from a handcrafted or heritage feel, and for posters or pull quotes when set with generous tracking and leading.
The overall tone is literary and playful—evoking folktales, vintage printing, and hand-rendered signage. Its mild eccentricities add charm and personality without turning into novelty, making it feel inviting and human.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif readability with a hand-touched, storybook character. It prioritizes personality through tapered strokes and flared terminals, aiming for an approachable, vintage-inflected texture in both display lines and short passages.
Capitals carry a slightly decorative presence through their flared terminals and asymmetric details, while lowercase forms maintain a readable, flowing rhythm. The figures lean old-style in spirit, with curved shapes and varied widths that blend naturally into running text.
