A decorative serif with lively, calligraphy-leaning construction and strongly tapered strokes. Serifs are small, bracketed, and often flare into wedge-like terminals, with occasional pointed or hooked ends that give the contours a hand-cut feel. The letters show noticeable stroke modulation and irregular finishing details, while remaining consistently upright and readable. Round forms are slightly squarish in rhythm, counters are moderately open, and spacing feels energetic rather than strictly even.
Best suited to display settings where personality is desired: book covers, posters, themed branding, packaging, menus, and pull quotes. It can work for short text passages when set with generous size and spacing, but its distinctive terminals and rhythmic irregularity make it most effective in titles and decorative typography.
The overall tone is eccentric and old-world, suggesting folktales, small-town signage, or vintage ephemera. Its uneven, spurred terminals and animated curves create a playful, slightly gothic charm without becoming heavy or solemn.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with expressive, hand-tooled details—delivering a readable, traditional silhouette enlivened by whimsical, spurred terminals and calligraphic modulation.
Uppercase forms carry a strong display presence with sharp, stylized terminals (notably in characters with crossbars and diagonals), while the lowercase keeps a compact, traditional texture. Numerals match the same tapered, ornamental treatment, with curled or angled endings that keep them visually consistent in headlines and short runs of text.
