A hand-drawn, serif-leaning print with narrow proportions and visibly irregular stroke edges that mimic ink on paper. Stems alternate between straight, slightly wobbly verticals and tapered, brushlike terminals; serifs appear as small wedges, hooks, and flicks rather than consistent brackets. Curves are somewhat angular and pinched, with occasional pointed joins, creating a lively, uneven rhythm across words. Capitals are tall and characterful, while the lowercase is compact with a short x-height and long, occasionally dramatic ascenders and descenders.
Best suited for display settings where personality matters: book covers, posters, themed branding, packaging, and short headline phrases. It can work for brief editorial pull quotes or labels, but the irregular rhythm and compact lowercase are more effective at larger sizes than in dense body text.
The overall tone is quirky and storybook-like, with a rustic, slightly gothic flavor that feels crafted rather than engineered. Its uneven contours and spurred terminals add a whimsical, old-world mood that suggests handmade signage or illustrated titles.
The design appears intended to capture the charm of hand-lettered print with a lightly medieval or storybook edge—mixing serif cues with drawn imperfections to create an expressive, illustrative voice for titles and decorative text.
Some letters feature distinctive internal slashes and notched counters that read as deliberate drawing gestures, increasing texture and personality. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, which enhances the informal feel but can create a slightly bouncy color in longer lines. Numerals follow the same narrow, calligraphic logic with curved, tapering strokes and subtle entry/exit flicks.
