A tall, narrow serif with a lightly drawn, low-contrast skeleton and an intentionally uneven, hand-rendered finish. Strokes taper into sharp, triangular wedge serifs and pointed terminals, giving many letters a slightly spiky silhouette. Curves are gently pinched and counters are compact, while ascenders and capitals read elongated, producing a vertical, slightly restless rhythm. Overall spacing feels tight and the letterforms vary subtly in stroke behavior and terminal shapes, reinforcing a crafted, decorative texture rather than a strictly mechanical one.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short copy where its narrow set and sharp wedge serifs can read as deliberate character rather than noise. It can work well for book covers, theatrical posters, boutique packaging, and branding that benefits from a whimsical, slightly vintage voice.
The font communicates a quirky, storybook tone—part antique letterpress, part hand-inked display. Its narrow, pointed detailing adds a faintly eerie or mischievous edge, making it feel playful but also a little gothic or mysterious depending on context.
The design appears aimed at delivering a distinctive, handcrafted serif flavor within a compact, vertically driven silhouette. Its tapered wedge serifs and subtle irregularities suggest an intention to evoke older printed or drawn lettering while remaining clear enough for expressive display typography.
In the sample text, the lively terminal shapes and narrow proportions create strong vertical emphasis, which boosts personality at larger sizes but can introduce visual chatter in dense passages. Numerals and lowercase share the same tapered, pointed logic, keeping the texture consistent across mixed content.
