A hand-drawn serif with slim, slightly irregular strokes and small wedge-like, flared terminals that read as lightly chiseled or brush-cut. Curves are open and rounded (notably in C, G, O, and e), while straight stems show subtle tapering and uneven edges that create a natural, tactile texture. Proportions are generally traditional for a text serif, with moderate ascenders/descenders and gently varied character widths; counters remain clear and the overall rhythm is airy rather than dense.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where its organic texture can be appreciated: book covers, chapter openers, pull quotes, posters, and boutique branding or packaging. It can work for inviting editorial headlines and subheads, especially in themes that benefit from a handcrafted or story-driven voice.
The tone feels informal and literary—evoking storybooks, handmade signage, and whimsical editorial styling. Its imperfect edges and understated flair make it feel warm, personal, and a little eccentric without becoming chaotic.
Likely designed to deliver a readable serif structure with the charm of lettering—combining familiar book-type proportions with hand-rendered edges and gently flared terminals for a crafted, human presence.
Capital forms present a calm, classical skeleton enlivened by small notches and flicks at terminals; the lowercase continues the same language with softly pointed joins and occasional calligraphic quirks. Numerals are simple and readable, matching the serifed, hand-finished feel and maintaining consistent texture alongside letters.
