A calligraphic, hand-drawn serif with narrow proportions and lively, tapered stroke endings. The letterforms show flared, wedge-like serifs and slightly uneven stroke modulation that reads as ink or pen pressure rather than geometric construction. Curves are a bit pinched and terminals often finish in sharp points, giving the outlines a crisp, carved look. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating an animated rhythm, while the lowercase sits relatively low with compact counters and modest ascenders/descenders.
Best suited to display settings where its quirky calligraphic texture can be appreciated—titles, book covers, posters, packaging, and characterful branding. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing, but the irregular rhythm is most effective in headlines and prominent text.
The overall tone feels old-world and storybook-like, with a whimsical, slightly eccentric character. Its handmade irregularities lend warmth and personality, evoking vintage printing, folk craft, or theatrical signage rather than modern editorial polish.
The design appears intended to emulate formal hand-lettering with an antique print flavor—combining narrow, upright proportions with pen-like contrast and flared serif terminals to produce a distinctive, expressive voice for display typography.
Uppercase forms appear more stylized and dramatic, while the lowercase maintains a simpler, readable cadence in text. Numerals follow the same flared, tapered logic and feel decorative without becoming overly ornate.
