A calligraphic, hand-drawn roman with subtly irregular outlines and gently modulated stroke weight. Forms are narrow and vertically oriented, with flared terminals and small wedge-like serifs that feel carved or brush-pulled rather than mechanically constructed. Curves show slight wobble and soft swelling at joins, giving counters and bowls a lively, organic rhythm. Ascenders are prominent, lowercase remains compact, and spacing is a touch uneven in a way that reinforces the handmade texture while keeping letterforms clear at text sizes.
Works well for display typography where a handcrafted, traditional voice is desired—book covers, posters, café or shop branding, packaging, menus, invitations, and editorial headlines. It can also serve for short passages or pull quotes when you want readable text with a distinctly handmade texture.
The font reads as old-world and slightly rustic, with a storybook warmth and a hint of medieval or folk craft. Its irregularities and flared endings create an inviting, whimsical tone—more human and expressive than formal—suited to nostalgic or artisanal themes.
Likely designed to emulate formal pen or brush lettering translated into an upright roman, balancing legibility with visible human irregularity. The goal appears to be a classic, slightly historical flavor that feels crafted and personal rather than strictly typographic.
Capitals are decorative without becoming overly ornate, and the overall texture stays consistent across alphabet, numerals, and running text. Numerals share the same flared, hand-inked character and sit comfortably with the letters, supporting display and short text use without feeling like a separate style.
