A lively, calligraphic display face with sturdy, rounded stems and distinctly flared, bracket-like transitions into soft wedge/teardrop terminals. Stroke endings curl and hook subtly, creating a buoyant rhythm and a slightly irregular, hand-shaped texture while keeping consistent proportions. Counters are generally open and rounded, with compact joins and a gently bouncing baseline feel that becomes more pronounced in mixed-case text and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, short passages, and display typography where its ornamental terminals can be appreciated. It can work well for book covers, posters, event materials, packaging, and branded titles that want a handcrafted, vintage-leaning voice.
The overall tone is playful and storybook-like, with an old-world, folkloric charm. Its decorative terminals and soft curves suggest warmth and a touch of theatricality, making text feel celebratory and characterful rather than strictly formal.
Designed to evoke a hand-drawn calligraphic impression with friendly, decorative flourishes, prioritizing personality and rhythmic texture over neutrality. The consistent use of flared terminals and curled strokes appears intended to create a distinctive, narrative-driven display style.
Capitals have prominent curled entry/exit strokes and a sculpted silhouette that reads well at larger sizes. The lowercase shows energetic ascenders and varied terminal shapes, and the figures echo the same curled, flared logic, helping headings and short lines feel cohesive.
