A calligraphic serif with gently flared, bracketed serifs and slightly uneven, hand-inked stroke edges that keep the texture lively without feeling messy. Curves are round and generous, while stems remain upright and steady, giving the letterforms a calm backbone. Terminals often widen or curl subtly, and many joins and shoulders have a soft, brush-like taper that suggests a pen or broad nib. Proportions are moderately open and readable, with rounded counters and a relaxed baseline rhythm that introduces mild, intentional irregularity across the set.
Works well for display and short-to-medium text where a traditional, handcrafted voice is desired—such as book covers, chapter headings, packaging labels, posters, and event invitations. It can also support brand marks and identity systems that want a heritage or boutique feel without becoming overly ornate.
The overall tone feels classic and story-driven—warm, human, and a bit theatrical, like lettering used for fables, historical settings, or artisanal branding. Its gentle quirks and flared ends add charm and personality while staying legible enough for short passages.
Likely designed to evoke formal hand-lettering with an old-style serif foundation, adding small flourishes and soft stroke modulation to create a personable, crafted texture. The aim appears to balance charm and readability, making it suitable for expressive editorial and branding contexts.
Capitals have a decorative, old-style presence with prominent serifs and occasional swash-like gestures, while lowercase maintains a friendly, bookish cadence. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with curved forms and subtly sculpted terminals that keep them consistent with the text style.
