A quirky serif with gently flared, wedge-like terminals and a softly calligraphic stroke that varies subtly through curves and joins. The letterforms carry a consistent reverse-lean and a lightly wavy baseline feel, with rounded bowls and slightly uneven, hand-drawn modulation that keeps the rhythm lively. Serifs are small and tapered rather than blocky, and many strokes end in angled, brush-like cuts that add texture without becoming distressed. Proportions are open and readable, with roomy counters and a compact, friendly lowercase.
Works best for display typography such as book and chapter titles, playful branding, illustrated packaging, and posters where a handcrafted, narrative mood is desired. It can also serve short blurbs or pull quotes, especially when paired with a calmer companion text face to balance its energetic slant.
The overall tone is playful and story-driven, evoking hand-lettered title cards, children’s publishing, and light fantasy or folk aesthetics. Its reverse slant and irregular energy make it feel personable and slightly mischievous rather than formal or institutional.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable serif with deliberate hand-made charm—using reverse-leaning structure, tapered serifs, and subtle stroke irregularity to create personality while maintaining clear letter shapes.
In text, the animated angles and tapered terminals create a distinctive sparkle, but the pronounced reverse-lean and bouncy rhythm become a dominant stylistic voice at longer lengths. Numerals match the same lively, slightly irregular construction, supporting display settings where character is prioritized over neutrality.
