A hand-drawn, print-style serif with sharp, triangular wedge terminals and visibly roughened outlines that mimic ink drag or a dry-brush edge. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin behavior with slightly uneven verticals and occasional pinched joins, creating a lively, irregular rhythm. Capitals are narrow-to-moderate with tall proportions and distinctive, spiky serif gestures; the lowercase is compact with a noticeably short x-height and simple, sturdy forms. Overall spacing reads slightly variable, with glyph widths and internal counters shifting subtly from letter to letter for an organic, drawn-on-paper feel.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where its texture and sharp serif details can be appreciated—book covers, posters, menus, labels, and editorial headings. It can also work for branding that wants an artisanal or vintage voice, especially when paired with a simpler companion for body copy.
The font conveys an old-world, storybook tone—expressive and a bit mischievous—like hand-inked titling or decorative text from a vintage pamphlet. Its rough edges and high-contrast movement add drama and personality without becoming ornate or formal.
The design appears intended to capture the charm of hand-rendered serif lettering with a deliberately imperfect inked finish. By combining spiky wedge serifs, strong contrast, and variable, organic outlines, it aims to feel expressive and human rather than mechanically uniform.
The texture is consistent across letters and numerals, with intermittent thin slivers and edge chatter that reinforce the handmade construction. Numerals share the same calligraphic contrast and pointed terminals, helping text blocks feel cohesive. The ampersand and capitals stand out as especially decorative, making the face more characterful in display settings than in dense continuous reading.
