A slender, lightly built roman with sharp, flared wedge serifs and frequent pointed terminals that give strokes a carved, knife-edge finish. Proportions are condensed with tall ascenders and relatively small lowercase bodies, creating a top-heavy vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth but slightly idiosyncratic, with occasional kinks and asymmetric joins that make counters and bowls feel individually drawn rather than strictly modular. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across letters, and several glyphs show distinctive decorative gestures (such as the Q’s tail and angular diagonals in V/W/X/Y/Z), reinforcing an intentionally irregular texture in text.
Best suited for display settings where personality is the priority—titles, headers, posters, book covers, and themed packaging. It can also work for branding marks or short taglines that benefit from a peculiar, handcrafted flavor, especially in whimsical or fantasy-leaning contexts.
The tone is playful and offbeat, reading like a stylized storybook or fantasy prop rather than a conventional text face. Its sharp serifs and wiry structure add a mischievous edge, while the uneven rhythm keeps the overall impression informal and characterful.
The design appears aimed at delivering a distinctive, one-off display voice by blending a traditional serif skeleton with intentionally quirky modulation, sharp wedges, and uneven spacing. The goal is less about neutrality and more about memorable character and a slightly theatrical, illustrative texture in both all-caps and mixed-case text.
The figures follow the same wiry, pointed logic as the letters, with open, elegant curves and occasional abrupt cut-ins that maintain the quirky voice. In continuous text, the condensed build and spiky detailing create a lively sparkle, but the irregularities become part of the intended charm.
