A decorative serif with tall, condensed proportions and lively, calligraphic modulation. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin contrast with tapered entries and exits, giving many terminals a pointed, inked feel rather than blunt cuts. Serifs are small and irregularly flared, with occasional hook-like or beak-like details that create a hand-drawn rhythm. Curves are narrow and verticalized, counters are tight, and the overall texture is dark-and-light striping with slightly uneven, organic stroke behavior across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited to display sizes where its contrast and terminal detailing can be appreciated—headlines, short phrases, book and chapter titles, labels, and brand marks. It can work for brief text passages in spacious settings, but the narrow width and busy terminals will be most effective when given room and set with generous tracking.
The tone is playful and old-world, like hand-lettered titling for fairy tales, vintage packaging, or theatrical posters. Its springy curves and spurred terminals add a mischievous, expressive character while still reading as a serifed text style rather than a fully connected script.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with a hand-inked, decorative sensibility, prioritizing personality and rhythm over strict regularity. Its condensed stance and expressive terminals suggest a focus on charming, narrative-forward typography for attention-grabbing titles and stylized editorial applications.
Uppercase forms feel especially tall and display-oriented, while lowercase keeps a compact, narrow footprint with distinctive, curly details on letters like g, y, and z. Numerals follow the same tapered, calligraphic logic, with elegant curves and occasional sharp turns that reinforce the ornamental, illustrative personality.
