A casual serif with slim, slightly irregular strokes and a gently brushed, roughened edge that suggests ink drag or dry-brush texture. Serifs are small and soft, with rounded terminals and occasional flare, giving the letterforms a friendly, uneven rhythm without collapsing readability. Proportions are mixed—some capitals feel wide and open (C, O, Q), while others are narrower and more upright—creating a deliberately inconsistent, handmade color across words. Numerals and lowercase keep the same textured perimeter and light, airy presence, with single-storey forms where expected and a generally open, uncompressed structure.
Best suited to display contexts where personality matters: posters, covers, short headlines, packaging, and playful editorial callouts. It can work for brief passages or captions when a handcrafted tone is desired, but the roughened perimeter makes it most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is whimsical and imperfect in a charming way, like hand-lettered type used for playful messaging. Its rough edges and uneven stroke behavior add personality and a slightly mischievous, offbeat character, while the clear silhouettes keep it approachable rather than chaotic.
Likely designed to deliver a one-off, characterful serif that feels hand-made rather than mechanically perfect, combining readable classical letter skeletons with deliberately imperfect, textured outlines for a lively decorative voice.
The texture is most visible along verticals and curves, producing tiny nicks and specks that read as intentional wear. Spacing appears comfortable in running text, but the irregular edge and lively shapes create a noticeable “sparkle,” especially at larger sizes and in high-contrast printing.
