A sturdy serif with softened, slightly irregular contours and gently bracketed serifs that feel shaped rather than machined. Strokes show modest modulation and a subtly calligraphic rhythm, with rounded joins, occasional flared terminals, and small asymmetries that create a handmade texture. Counters are open and generous, while caps read broad and stable; overall spacing feels comfortable and slightly variable, reinforcing an organic cadence across words and lines.
It performs best in display and short-to-medium text settings where character is desirable—such as packaging, artisanal branding, book covers, posters, and editorial headings. The strong presence and open counters help it stay readable at moderate sizes while still delivering a distinctive, handcrafted voice.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a storybook and craft-like character. Its uneven edges and lively terminals suggest printed ephemera, traditional signage, or ink-on-paper charm rather than slick contemporary polish.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with human warmth, using controlled irregularity and calligraphic cues to avoid rigidity. It aims to feel familiar and readable while adding a tactile, slightly vintage personality suitable for expressive typographic settings.
Uppercase forms carry a classic, slightly old-world silhouette, while lowercase letters introduce more personality through varied terminal shapes and a gently informal baseline feel. Numerals match the text color well and maintain the same softened, hand-cut impression, supporting cohesive typographic texture in mixed copy.
