A lively, hand-drawn serif with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and finer connecting strokes. The letterforms are narrow and upright, with flared, softly bracketed serif-like terminals and an uneven, inked edge that suggests a pen or brush tool. Curves are rounded and slightly irregular, giving the set a buoyant rhythm; counters are compact, and the lowercase shows a short x-height with tall ascenders/descenders that add vertical sparkle. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, crafted texture in text.
Best suited to display typography where its character can lead: headlines, posters, book covers, packaging, and branding for artisanal or playful products. It can work for short paragraphs or pull quotes when set generously, but the fine hairlines and lively irregularity favor larger sizes and comfortable line spacing.
The font conveys a warm, mischievous charm—more storybook and boutique than corporate. Its animated stroke endings and gentle irregularities read as personal and approachable, with a lightly vintage, printed-by-hand feel.
The design appears intended to mimic informal hand-lettering while retaining a recognizable serif structure, balancing readability with personality. Its narrow proportions and contrast make it space-efficient for titles, while the organic terminals and uneven rhythm keep the tone casual and expressive.
In longer lines, the strong vertical emphasis and tall extenders create a distinctive skyline, while the high contrast and delicate joins add visual sparkle at display sizes. The numerals and punctuation keep the same handmade logic, pairing sturdy stems with tapered, flicked terminals.
