A lively, hand-drawn calligraphic roman with a brush-like stroke and softly flared, wedge-shaped terminals. The letterforms are rounded and slightly irregular in a deliberate way, with gentle asymmetry and a bouncy baseline rhythm that keeps textures animated. Counters tend toward open, oval shapes, and many joins and terminals finish in tapered points or small triangular flicks, giving a carved-yet-inked feel. Capitals are broad and decorative without becoming ornate, while lowercase stays compact and readable with sturdy stems and simplified details.
Best suited to display settings where its personality can lead: headlines, posters, book covers, and themed branding. It also works well for packaging, menus, and event materials that want a handcrafted, heritage or fantasy-adjacent atmosphere, while remaining readable at moderate sizes.
The overall tone feels storybook and old-world, mixing a medieval manuscript flavor with an approachable, playful warmth. Its uneven, hand-cut energy reads as personal and crafted rather than formal or corporate, suggesting tradition, folklore, and casual charm.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-lettered calligraphy in a simplified, sturdy display form—capturing a historical or folkloric mood without heavy ornamentation. Its goal is expressive texture and charm, providing distinctive titles and short text that feel crafted and human.
The alphabet shows consistent construction across cases with noticeable character in key shapes (notably the angular wedges on E/F/T and the curvy, brushy bowls on b/p/d). Numerals are similarly stylized and slightly idiosyncratic, matching the text color and keeping a cohesive, handcrafted texture in running copy.
