A decorative serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and subtly uneven stroke behavior that gives each letter a slightly hand-hewn feel. The serifs often sharpen into small spikes and hooks, and bowls and joins show mild irregularities that create a lively, shifting rhythm across words. Curves are full but not perfectly symmetrical, with occasional pinched transitions and angled cuts that read as carved rather than drawn with strict geometric logic. Numerals follow the same playful construction, with noticeable idiosyncrasies in curves and terminals that keep the set visually consistent.
Best suited to display applications where its personality can carry the message: posters, title treatments, book covers, and packaging that needs a distinctive, offbeat voice. It can also work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or playful branding lines, where the irregular rhythm reads as intentional craft.
The tone is playful and eccentric, with a storybook personality that feels mischievous rather than formal. Its irregularities and pointed details add a lightly spooky, theatrical edge while staying friendly and readable at display sizes. Overall it suggests a crafted, imaginative mood—like lettering for a whimsical tale or a quirky poster.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a serif tradition through an intentionally irregular, decorative lens—keeping familiar letter structures while adding spiky terminals, carved-looking cuts, and a bouncy rhythm to create a memorable, characterful texture.
Uppercase forms feel stately at first glance, but the quirky terminals and slightly wandering curves prevent the texture from becoming classical. In text settings the font creates a pronounced, animated pattern of black shapes, so spacing and word rhythm become part of the character.
