A decorative serif with a narrow overall stance and gently modulated strokes. Serifs are small and softly bracketed, with many terminals swelling into teardrop or club-like ends that give the contours a buoyant, hand-shaped feel. Curves are slightly irregular and lively rather than geometric, and several glyphs show distinctive, sometimes asymmetric details (notably in S, J, Q, and the numerals), creating an animated rhythm in text. The result is readable at display sizes while retaining a deliberately idiosyncratic texture across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, book and album covers, product packaging, and branding that benefits from a handcrafted, vintage-leaning voice. It can work for short editorial heads, pull quotes, and signage where personality is prioritized and sizes are large enough to let the distinctive terminals read clearly.
The tone is playful and old-fashioned, evoking storybook lettering, informal vintage print, and light theatrical or magical themes. Its bouncy terminals and gentle irregularities project charm and personality more than strict formality, making it feel friendly, curious, and a bit mischievous.
The design appears intended to blend a traditional serif foundation with whimsical, hand-inked detailing, producing a recognizable silhouette and a lively text color. It prioritizes character and narrative atmosphere while keeping familiar serif structures for legibility in display settings.
In running text the narrow proportions and pronounced terminal shapes create a strong pattern and noticeable letter-to-letter character, so spacing and line length will influence how busy it feels. The figures echo the same softened, slightly eccentric construction, helping headlines and short statements maintain a consistent voice.
