A decorative serif with subtly calligraphic construction and softly flared, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show gentle modulation and slightly irregular, hand-shaped contours, giving the letterforms an organic rhythm rather than a strictly mechanical finish. Capitals are relatively broad with rounded bowls and tapered joins, while lowercase forms keep a compact, readable structure with distinctive, curved entry/exit strokes and occasional asymmetry. Numerals follow the same lively, slightly old-fashioned proportions, with open counters and rounded turns that maintain a consistent texture in running text.
Works well for book covers, magazine features, and branded materials that benefit from a warm, crafted serif with personality. It’s particularly suited to display sizes for titles and taglines, and can also serve for short-to-medium passages where a slightly informal, narrative tone is desired.
The overall tone feels storybook and artisanal—classic without being formal, and whimsical without tipping into novelty. Its small quirks and brush-like terminals lend a friendly, human voice that suggests folk print, editorial charm, and lightly theatrical personality.
Likely designed to combine traditional serif readability with a hand-rendered, characterful finish—providing an old-style foundation while introducing gentle irregularities and calligraphic cues for expressiveness.
Spacing and color are even enough for paragraphs, but the irregular terminals and expressive curves remain visible at text sizes, contributing character to headlines and pull quotes. The design’s distinctive details show up strongly in letters like a, g, k, and y, which adds recognizable flavor in short phrases.
