A narrow, serifed text face with medium contrast and gently irregular, hand-drawn construction. Strokes swell subtly through curves and taper into small bracketed serifs, with frequent forked or spurred terminals that add a decorative bite to stems and joins. Curves are soft and slightly pinched in places, counters stay open, and the rhythm alternates between compact verticals and lively, asymmetric rounds, giving the alphabet a warm, uneven cadence without losing overall consistency.
Works well for display-to-text applications where personality matters: book covers and chapter openers, boutique branding, packaging, editorial pull quotes, and poster headlines. It can also serve short paragraphs in larger sizes where the decorative spurs and hand-made texture can be appreciated without crowding.
The tone is charming and informal, with a storybook, craft-driven personality. Its spurred details and slightly whimsical proportions suggest an old-fashioned, folkloric mood—playful rather than formal, and more expressive than purely utilitarian.
Likely designed to blend familiar serif legibility with a crafted, illustrative finish. The forked terminals and mid-stem spurs appear intended to provide a signature texture and a narrative, vintage-leaning voice while staying compact and readable.
Capitals show a tall, slightly condensed stance with distinctive, stylized top and foot treatments, while lowercase forms keep a readable, straightforward structure with occasional flourishes in terminals and descenders. Numerals match the same friendly, slightly quirky drawing, avoiding rigid geometry in favor of organic curves and small serifed finishes.
