A calligraphic, hand-drawn roman with gently irregular outlines and a lively baseline rhythm. Strokes show subtle pen-like modulation and slightly tapered joins, with small flared, serif-like terminals that read as inked finish rather than rigid construction. Bowls and counters are open and rounded, and capitals are simple but characterful, with occasional asymmetric details and soft curves. Numerals and punctuation match the same informal, ink-on-paper texture, keeping the overall color light and airy.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a handcrafted voice is desired—book covers, chapter headings, quotes, invitations, boutique packaging, and posters. It can also work for display-sized passages where the subtle stroke texture and rhythmic irregularity can be appreciated.
The font feels warm and story-driven, balancing formality with a playful, handmade charm. Its slight wobble and soft terminals evoke personal lettering, giving text a human, approachable tone suited to whimsical or nostalgic settings.
The design appears intended to mimic neat, formal hand lettering: roman letterforms with a lightly calligraphic touch, modest ornament, and consistent texture for readable, expressive setting.
Spacing appears generously set, helping the delicate strokes stay legible in paragraphs. Distinctive features include rounded i-dots, gently curved diagonals, and occasional looped or tailed forms (notably in letters like g and y) that add flair without becoming fully script-like.
