A tall, tightly set serif display face with narrow proportions and a slightly irregular, hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with frequent tapering and small swelling, and many terminals end in sharp, triangular wedge-like serifs. Curves are subtly pinched and occasionally bulbous, giving counters an organic, slightly uneven feel; the overall silhouette reads spiky and animated rather than strictly classical. Uppercase forms are especially slender with long vertical emphasis, while lowercase maintains a compact x-height with lively ascenders and distinctive, curled or hooked terminals in letters like a, f, j, and y. Numerals follow the same condensed, calligraphic construction, with narrow bowls and pointed endings that keep the texture consistent in text.
Best suited to display typography where its condensed, characterful forms can be appreciated—book jackets, event posters, theatrical or magical-themed titles, game/UI headings, and branding accents. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) when a distinctive, vintage-quirky flavor is desired.
The font conveys an eccentric, old-world tone—part Victorian, part fairy-tale—mixing polite serif structure with quirky, theatrical quirks. Its sharp wedges and elastic curves create a slightly mysterious, playful voice that feels at home in curated, characterful settings rather than neutral editorial work.
The design appears intended to offer a decorative serif with a deliberately quirky, slightly handwrought personality—condensed for impact, with sharpened wedge serifs and elastic curves to create a memorable, story-driven texture in headlines and titling.
Spacing in the sample text suggests a dense, vertical texture with strong word-shape variation, and some letters (notably S/s and Q) have pronounced idiosyncrasies that read as intentional stylistic signatures. The design’s narrow build and pointed terminals make it visually assertive at larger sizes, while fine details may crowd at very small sizes.
