A decorative serif with flared, wedge-like serifs and sculpted strokes that feel cut or brushed rather than mechanically drawn. Curves are plump and slightly irregular in a deliberate way, with teardrop and notched terminals appearing across many letters. Counters tend toward rounded, and the joins and diagonals show subtle kinks that create a lively, hand-shaped texture. Overall spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the line a shifting rhythm while maintaining a consistent cap height and baseline structure.
Best suited for display contexts such as posters, headings, book covers, and packaging where its animated serif details can be appreciated. It can also work for branding or short editorial callouts when a friendly, vintage-leaning personality is desired.
The tone is playful and slightly eccentric, suggesting a storybook or poster voice rather than neutral text typography. Its soft, calligraphic quirks and carved-looking details lend a vintage, theatrical warmth that reads as charming and characterful.
The design appears intended to provide a distinctive, handcrafted serif voice—mixing traditional serif cues with expressive terminal treatments and intentionally uneven contours to create memorability and charm in display typography.
In the text sample, the strong internal shapes and terminal notches create a distinctive sparkle at larger sizes, while small sizes may emphasize the quirky stroke interruptions and uneven rhythm. The numerals echo the same flared serif language, with bold, rounded forms that match the font’s decorative personality.
