A decorative serif with soft, rounded terminals and slightly irregular, hand-drawn contours. The letterforms use classic, oldstyle-inspired proportions—narrower joins, modest contrast, and a relatively small x-height—while maintaining a steady upright stance. Strokes are consistently “hollowed” with small internal punch-outs and dotted cutouts that read like perforation or stippling, creating a lively texture inside each glyph. Serifs are bracketed and friendly rather than sharp, and the overall rhythm is slightly bouncy, with subtle inconsistencies that enhance the crafted feel.
Best suited to display applications where the perforated texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and book or event titles. It can add character to short editorial callouts or pull quotes, but is less ideal for long body text due to the busy interior detailing.
The perforated interiors and uneven ink-like edges give the font a playful, nostalgic tone, suggesting vintage ephemera, carnival signage, or storybook titling. It feels cheerful and eccentric rather than formal, with a handmade personality that draws attention even in short phrases.
The design appears intended to blend a traditional serif foundation with a distinctive hollowed, dotted interior treatment, producing an attention-grabbing display face that feels handcrafted and vintage-leaning. The goal seems to be instant personality and texture while keeping recognizable, readable letter shapes.
The internal cutout pattern is a primary visual feature and becomes more apparent at display sizes; at smaller sizes the texture may visually fill in and reduce clarity. Numerals and capitals match the same ornamental treatment, helping the set feel cohesive for headlines and branded phrases.
