A decorative serif with a deliberately uneven, hand-hewn construction. Strokes are mostly straight and angular with occasional subtle curvature, and many joins and terminals feel faceted or slightly skewed, creating a lively, irregular rhythm. Serifs read as wedge-like and sharp rather than bracketed, with pointed feet and tapered ends that give letters a slightly spiky silhouette. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph—especially in the capitals—reinforcing a cut-by-hand texture while maintaining clear internal counters and sturdy verticals.
Best suited for display settings where texture and character are desirable: posters, headlines, book covers, packaging, menus, and themed branding. It can also work for short pull quotes or title cards, but the irregular rhythm and sharp details suggest avoiding long body text sizes where the decorative edges may become visually busy.
The overall tone is playful and eccentric, evoking vintage display lettering with a quirky, folktale or old-poster flavor. Its intentional wonkiness and sharp wedges add a hint of mischief and theatrics, making it feel more expressive than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut or hand-drawn serif signage—prioritizing personality, charm, and a crafted look over strict geometric regularity. Its wedge serifs and faceted terminals aim to deliver strong silhouettes and memorable wordmarks in medium to large sizes.
Caps show strong personality with narrow waists and angled shoulders, while lowercase forms remain legible but keep the same off-kilter geometry. Numerals match the faceted, slightly irregular style and hold up well as standalone characters for headings and badges.
