A decorative serif with compact proportions and a softly uneven, hand-inked texture. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with gently bracketed, wedge-like serifs and rounded, slightly blunted terminals. Curves are generous and somewhat lumpy in a deliberate way, producing a lively rhythm; counters stay fairly open despite the narrow set. The cap set feels tall and slightly condensed, while the lowercase maintains a readable, traditional structure with small quirks (notably in the hooky descenders and the subtly varied character widths).
Well-suited to display roles such as book and chapter titles, artisanal packaging, labels, and branding that wants a vintage or handcrafted flavor. It can work for short paragraphs in editorial or themed materials when a distinctive, storybook voice is desired, but the textured rhythm is most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is warm and quirky, suggesting vintage printing, folktales, and artisanal signage. Its mild irregularities read as human and approachable rather than formal, adding charm and personality to short messages.
Likely designed to blend classic serif structures with a deliberately imperfect, inked finish, creating a readable display face that feels traditional yet playful. The goal appears to be charm and character—evoking older print aesthetics without becoming overly ornate.
The numerals follow the same softened, slightly irregular construction, with round forms that feel inked rather than mechanical. In text, the face maintains clarity while projecting a deliberately non-uniform color, so spacing and stroke wobble become part of its character.
