A decorative serif with gently uneven, hand-inked stroke behavior and moderate contrast. Serifs are small and often bracketed or subtly flared, with occasional wedge-like ends and slightly tapered strokes that vary from glyph to glyph. Curves have a soft, drawn quality, and joins and terminals show intentional irregularities that keep the rhythm lively rather than mechanical. Proportions are fairly classic overall, but many letters include idiosyncratic details (curled terminals, angled crossbars, and subtly varied widths) that give the face a distinctive texture in text.
Best suited for display typography where character is desirable: book covers, boutique packaging, event invitations, posters, and short headlines. It can work for brief passages or pull quotes when a warm, crafted texture is preferred over a neutral reading face.
The overall tone feels storybook and old-world, with a playful, slightly quirky charm. Its irregular terminals and calligraphic inflections suggest crafted print—more folktale or boutique than formal editorial.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif structures with a hand-rendered, slightly eccentric finish. By combining familiar proportions with irregular, calligraphy-like details, it aims to add personality and charm to titles and brand-forward text.
Uppercase forms read clearly at display sizes, while the lowercase adds most of the personality through curled terminals and bouncy spacing. Numerals share the same handmade flavor, with angled strokes and lightly ornamental finishing that keeps them consistent with the letters.
