A calligraphic, hand-drawn roman with rounded strokes, gently uneven widths, and frequent looped terminals. Capitals feature decorative entry strokes and modest swashes, while lowercase stays mostly simple and upright with occasional curled ends and lightly irregular joins. Forms are open and airy, with smooth curves, tapered-looking stroke endings, and a consistent, unhurried rhythm that keeps text readable while retaining a handmade character.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where the curly terminals and decorative capitals can be appreciated—such as headlines, quotes, book covers, invitations, labels, and boutique branding. It can also support brief paragraphs when a personable, crafted tone is desired and ample size/leading is available.
The overall tone is warm and whimsical, like a refined storybook hand with a touch of vintage charm. Its flourishes add personality without becoming overly ornate, giving it an inviting, lightly formal feel suited to expressive display settings.
Likely designed to evoke a neat, formal hand with playful flourishes—balancing legibility with decorative charm. The restrained ornamentation suggests an aim toward versatile display typography that feels handcrafted and slightly nostalgic.
The numerals echo the same rounded, loop-friendly construction, with several figures using soft, calligraphic curves rather than rigid geometry. Spacing appears comfortable in running text, and the ornamental capitals naturally create emphasis at the start of words and lines.
