A condensed, decorative serif with tall proportions and softly irregular outlines. The strokes show strong thick–thin shifts and a hand-drawn wobble, with ink-trap-like notches and uneven terminals that keep the texture lively. Many glyphs include an interior inline/cut-out and a subtle offset echo that reads as a shadowed double-stroke, giving forms a dimensional, outlined look without becoming fully filled. Counters are small and rounded, curves are slightly squashed, and joins feel intentionally imperfect for a crafted rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display sizes where the inline and shadow detailing can be appreciated—such as posters, event titles, book covers, packaging, labels, and shop signage. It can also work for short branding phrases or pull quotes, while extended body text may feel busy due to the interior cut-outs and textured outlines.
The overall tone is playful and characterful, suggesting a vintage sign-painter or screen-printed poster aesthetic. The shadowed inline detailing adds a theatrical, slightly spooky flair while remaining friendly and approachable. It feels informal and expressive rather than precise or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, attention-grabbing display voice that combines classic serif shapes with handcrafted irregularity. The inline cut-outs and offset shadow are used to add depth and visual buzz, helping titles stand out in print-like or retro-inspired settings.
The texture is consistent across the set, with the shadow/echo effect staying close to the main stroke and the inline detail varying slightly in width, reinforcing the handmade impression. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast construction and read well as display figures.
