A decorative serif with a hand-cut, calligraphic construction and intentionally uneven rhythm. Strokes show modest contrast and frequent flaring at terminals, with wedge-like serifs and sharp, tapered entries that create a slightly chiseled silhouette. Curves are not perfectly round and counters feel irregular, giving letters a lively, wobbly texture. The overall spacing and letter widths vary noticeably, reinforcing a handcrafted, non-mechanical feel in both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to display roles where personality matters: titles, short blurbs, posters, and illustrated packaging. It also fits fantasy-themed interfaces or chapter headings where a handcrafted, story-driven texture is desirable. For long-form text, it works most effectively in brief passages or larger sizes where the irregular rhythm remains clear.
The tone reads playful and theatrical, with a fairy‑tale or pseudo-historical flavor. Its irregularities and pointed terminals add a mischievous edge, making the text feel animated and characterful rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to evoke a handcrafted, storybook serif with deliberately irregular geometry and energetic stroke endings. Its visual system prioritizes character and novelty over strict typographic uniformity, aiming for an expressive, slightly archaic display voice.
Uppercase forms tend to be narrow and spiky with dramatic diagonals, while lowercase includes distinctive, quirky details such as looped bowls and sharp-angled joins. Numerals follow the same cut-paper logic, with tilted stems and tapered terminals that keep the set visually consistent. In paragraph samples, the font maintains strong personality but produces a bouncy texture that is more expressive than quietly readable.
