A calligraphic text face with flared, wedge-like terminals and softly rounded curves that give it a carved, pen-formed feel. Strokes are generally even with gentle modulation, and the letterforms lean on broad, open bowls and slightly irregular, hand-shaped contours. Capitals are more ornamental than the lowercase, with distinctive swashes and curled joins in letters like Q, R, and W. The lowercase shows a steady rhythm with modestly long ascenders/descenders, a single-storey a and g, and compact, slightly hooked endings that create a lively texture in paragraphs.
Best suited for display-driven settings where texture and character matter: book covers, chapter titles, posters, packaging, and event materials. It can set short paragraphs at larger sizes for a classic, narrative feel, but its ornamental details will be most effective in headings, pull quotes, and branded phrases.
The overall tone feels storybook and old-world, combining formality with a friendly, handmade charm. Its decorative capitals and soft terminals suggest a historical or folkloric mood rather than a strict, modern editorial voice.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-rendered calligraphy adapted for typesetting, balancing readability with decorative flair. It aims to provide an approachable vintage voice through flared terminals, rounded construction, and expressive capitals.
The numerals follow the same flared-terminal logic and read clearly, with rounder counters on 0/8/9 and angled strokes on 4/7. Word shapes are expressive, and the distinctive uppercase forms add character when used sparingly, especially in initials or short titles.
