A compact, heavy-stemmed display face with hand-drawn construction and lively, uneven contours. Strokes are largely monolinear but end in sharp, flared terminals that resemble brush-flicks or chisel cuts, giving many letters a slightly spurred silhouette. Curves are full and rounded while joins and corners often pinch or hook, creating a rhythmic alternation of soft bowls and angular accents. Proportions are condensed overall, with modest ascenders/descenders and slightly irregular widths that enhance the drawn, non-mechanical feel.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its textured outlines and spurred terminals can be appreciated—titles, headings, logotypes, packaging labels, and illustrated or themed collateral. It can work for brief passages in larger sizes, but the active terminals and condensed spacing suggest using it for emphasis rather than long body copy.
The tone is playful and old-world, evoking handcrafted lettering found in fairy tales, fantasy maps, tavern signs, or festival posters. Its pointed terminals and animated curves add a mischievous, theatrical character without becoming fully gothic or formal.
Likely designed to deliver a distinctive, hand-rendered display voice that combines friendly roundness with sharp, decorative terminals—creating a memorable silhouette for themed and character-driven typography.
Uppercase forms feel emblematic and sign-like, while lowercase keeps the same spurred terminal language for consistent texture in text. Numerals share the same chunky weight and tapered ends, reading clearly while maintaining the quirky, handmade rhythm.
