A narrow serif with lively, irregular detailing and a slightly hand-cut feel. Stems are slim and straight but end in flared, bracketed serifs that often taper into sharp, beak-like terminals. The stroke endings vary from glyph to glyph, creating a subtly unsettled rhythm, while counters remain fairly open for a condensed design. Round letters (O, C, G) are oval and slightly squashed, and many characters show gentle asymmetries and angled joins that emphasize a crafted, decorative construction.
Best suited to display sizes where the distinctive terminals and irregular rhythm can be appreciated—titles, posters, book covers, themed packaging, and short headlines. It can work for brief text passages in larger sizes, but its decorative details are most effective when not compressed into dense copy.
The overall tone is antique and storybook-like, blending an old-world serif tradition with playful, slightly spooky ornamentation. It suggests folklore, potion-label charm, or theatrical flair rather than sober editorial neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, old-fashioned serif with handcrafted quirks—condensed in proportion, but embellished to feel characterful and atmospheric for themed typography.
The font’s personality comes through most in the terminals and serifs: many letters have pointed feet, hooked finials, and small notches that read as intentional stylization. Numerals follow the same motif, with curled tops and tapered ends, keeping a consistent decorative voice across the set.
