This serif shows a gently slanted, calligraphic build with moderate stroke modulation and lively, slightly uneven rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into tapered, wedge-like terminals, giving strokes a softly sculpted feel rather than crisp, mechanical endings. Counters are open and rounded, with occasional angular joins and subtle teardrop-like details that add texture. Proportions read on the broader side, and the overall drawing favors smooth curves with a lightly “inked” personality, keeping forms clear while remaining decorative.
It works well for short-to-medium passages where you want a traditional serif voice with extra personality—book covers, editorial headers, pull quotes, and cultural or lifestyle branding. The distinctive terminals also make it a good candidate for packaging, menus, and invitations where a warm, crafted feel is desirable.
The tone is classic and literary with a playful, storybook twist. Its swashy terminal behavior and softened serifs suggest a hand-influenced tradition, conveying warmth and charm rather than formality. The italic slant adds motion and expressiveness, making text feel conversational and characterful.
The design appears intended to blend readable serif construction with decorative, hand-leaning details—delivering a familiar old-style foundation while adding idiosyncratic terminals and a gently animated texture. It aims for charm and individuality without sacrificing overall coherence across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Capitals have a slightly display-oriented presence, with distinctive serif shapes and energetic diagonals that keep headings engaging. Numerals match the same calligraphic logic, with rounded bowls and tapered strokes that maintain a cohesive texture across mixed content.
