A decorative serif with deliberately uneven contours and a hand-cut, slightly calligraphic feel. Strokes show moderate contrast and frequent swelling, with wedge-like, flared serifs and pointed terminals that create a lively, jagged edge. Bowls and counters are rounded but not perfectly symmetrical, and widths vary noticeably from letter to letter, producing an energetic, irregular rhythm. The lowercase is compact with a fairly conventional x-height, while ascenders/descenders are modest and end in sharp, flicked shapes; figures are similarly stylized with curved spurs and tapered joins.
Best suited to short display settings where its quirky silhouettes can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event titles, game or fantasy-themed UI headings, and characterful packaging. It can work for brief pull quotes or introductory lines, but extended body text may feel dense due to the active terminals and uneven rhythm.
The overall tone is mischievous and theatrical, balancing medieval-storybook flavor with a playful, off-kilter humor. Its sharp flicks and uneven silhouettes read as intentionally quirky and attention-seeking rather than formal or restrained.
The font appears designed to deliver immediate personality through irregular, hand-fashioned letterforms and dramatic serif flares, aiming for a whimsical, story-driven display voice rather than typographic neutrality.
In text, the strong black shapes and busy terminals create a textured color on the page; the irregular widths and spiky details add character but can become visually noisy as size decreases. The design’s distinctive terminals and flared serifs are the primary identity cues across both letters and numerals.
