A compact, hand-rendered serif with chunky, wedge-like terminals and subtly flared strokes. Letterforms show lively, calligraphic modulation—stems feel slightly tapered and edges are softly irregular, as if inked with a broad pen or brush. Serifs are short and triangular with gentle bracketing, creating a carved, woodcut-like silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and forms are sturdy and dark, producing a strong, compact texture in lines of text.
This font is well-suited to short to medium-length settings where personality matters: headlines, posters, event graphics, book or album covers, and brand marks for artisanal or nostalgic themes. It can also work for pull quotes and section titles where a handcrafted, storybook voice is desired.
The overall tone is playful and folkloric, with a slightly old-world, storybook warmth. Its uneven, human rhythm and stout shapes give it a friendly handmade character that can feel rustic, theatrical, and a touch mischievous.
The design appears intended to combine the clarity of a serif structure with the immediacy of hand lettering, emphasizing bold presence and distinctive wedge terminals. It aims to deliver an expressive, traditional-leaning texture that feels drawn rather than mechanically constructed.
Distinctive features include the sharp, triangular feet on many capitals, the energetic diagonals in letters like K, V, W, and X, and numerals with similarly chiseled terminals. The face maintains consistent weight and a coherent pen-made logic, while small variations in stroke endings and curvature keep it informal and expressive.
