A decorative serif with tall, compact proportions and lively, slightly irregular letterforms. Strokes show moderate contrast with soft, tapered terminals, and many serifs are gently flared or bracketed, giving an inked, pen-drawn feel rather than a rigid mechanical construction. The curves are springy and asymmetric in places, and the rhythm alternates between narrow verticals and occasional broader bowls (notably in rounds like O/Q), creating a varied texture. Numerals and lowercase share the same expressive construction, with distinctive hooks and teardrop-like endings that read clearly at display sizes.
Well suited to display typography such as book covers, chapter titles, posters, packaging, and branding that benefits from a whimsical or vintage voice. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes where personality is more important than a quiet text texture.
The font conveys a playful, old-world charm—part storybook, part vintage poster—through its bouncy cadence and calligraphic quirks. It feels friendly and characterful rather than formal, with an intentionally handcrafted personality that adds warmth and a hint of eccentricity.
The design appears intended to blend a serif foundation with calligraphic, hand-inked mannerisms, emphasizing charm and individuality over strict typographic neutrality. Its narrow, tall build and distinctive terminals suggest it is meant to stand out in titles and identity work while still remaining recognizably serifed.
In running text the irregularities and tapered details create a textured color that can feel busy at smaller sizes, while at larger sizes the unusual terminals and narrow stance become a defining stylistic feature. The uppercase has a lightly classical skeleton, but the decorative finishing consistently pushes it toward an illustrative, display-oriented tone.
