A delicate, hand-inked display face with thin, tapering strokes and sharp, spur-like serif accents. Curves are drawn with a slightly scratchy, uneven contour and frequent pointed terminals, giving the letterforms a lively, handmade rhythm. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with narrow joins, occasional asymmetry, and subtly inconsistent stroke endings that read as pen or brush pressure changes rather than strict geometric construction. Numerals and capitals carry more flourish and angularity, while lowercase retains a simple printed structure with distinctive, slightly hooked ascenders and modest bowls.
Best suited to short, expressive settings such as titles, chapter headers, posters, theatrical or fantasy-themed branding, and invitation/packaging work where the hand-drawn character is an asset. It can also add atmosphere to pull quotes or signage-style lines, especially when given generous tracking and leading.
The overall tone feels folkloric and slightly mysterious—like marginalia in an old storybook or a lightly gothic, magical note written with a fine nib. Its irregularities add personality and a hint of mischief, balancing elegance with an intentionally imperfect, drawn-by-hand charm.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident pen lettering with ornamental, slightly gothic cues—prioritizing mood, texture, and individuality over strict regularity. The spurred terminals and high-contrast strokes suggest a deliberate aim for a dramatic, story-driven display voice.
The texture is most apparent at junctions and terminals, where strokes pinch, fray, or sharpen into small spikes; this creates a crisp sparkle in headlines but can look busy in dense blocks. The sample text shows a consistent baseline and generally open counters, though the spurred serifs and variable stroke endings add visual noise at smaller sizes.
