A decorative inline serif with a drawn, slightly irregular rhythm and a consistent hollowed/outlined construction. Stems are built from two parallel contours that leave an open interior, giving letters a pen-and-ink, engraved feel without solid fills. Serifs are small and somewhat flared, with gently uneven curves and subtle wobble in verticals that keeps the texture lively. Proportions lean classic and readable, with moderate ascenders/descenders and open counters; numerals follow the same outlined logic and show varied, characterful shapes.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and cover/title work where the outlined construction can be appreciated. It can also work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, labels, chapter openers) when you want a decorative, vintage flavor, but it’s less ideal for dense body copy due to the open, double-line strokes.
The font conveys a playful, old-time tone—part vintage sign lettering, part fairy-tale book display. Its outlined interior lines add charm and a sense of craft, making text feel animated and slightly mischievous rather than formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif letterforms with an outlined, inline drawing treatment, prioritizing character and visual texture over strict geometric regularity. It aims to evoke historic printing and hand-rendered signage while remaining legible in typical display sizes.
The inline/outline construction creates a lighter on-page color than a filled serif, and the irregular stroke edges become more noticeable at larger sizes where the hand-drawn character reads as intentional texture.
