A slanted, calligraphic serif with brush-like stroke modulation and pointed terminals. Letterforms are tall and compact with a lively, uneven rhythm, combining narrow joins with occasional flares and wedge-like serifs. Curves show gentle swelling and tapering, and many strokes finish in sharp, inked points, giving the set a hand-rendered texture while maintaining consistent structure across the alphabet and figures.
This font suits short to medium display text where a handcrafted, formal feel is desired—such as book and chapter titles, event invitations, boutique branding, labels, and poster headlines. It performs best at larger sizes where the tapered terminals and subtle stroke changes remain clear.
The overall tone feels traditional and storybook-like, with a slightly theatrical elegance. Its energetic angles and tapered finishes add a touch of drama and whimsy, suggesting crafted lettering rather than strictly mechanical type.
The design appears intended to emulate formal pen or brush lettering with a controlled, consistent alphabet, balancing readability with expressive, crafted details for decorative typography.
Capitals are especially expressive, with varied stroke entry/exit angles and distinctive internal shapes, while lowercase forms remain readable but characterful. Numerals follow the same tapered, calligraphic logic and sit comfortably alongside the letters for display settings.
