A decorative outline serif with hand-inked irregularity and lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes are drawn as double contours that create hollow interiors, with occasional wobble and slight asymmetry that reads like pen-and-ink lettering rather than rigid geometry. Serifs are soft and somewhat bracketed, terminals vary in shape, and curves show subtle bulges and dents that add character. Proportions are generally broad with open counters; ascenders are tall while the lowercase body stays relatively compact, and spacing feels airy in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where the outline detail can be appreciated—posters, book covers, packaging, menus, and event titles. It can work for brief pull quotes or mastheads, but the decorative contouring and irregular rhythm make it less appropriate for dense body text or very small sizes.
The overall tone is nostalgic and playful, evoking old book typography, craft labels, and lightly mischievous poster lettering. Its outline construction gives it a buoyant, theatrical presence that feels more illustrative than editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a charming, old-time display voice by combining classic serif structures with an illustrated outline treatment. Its controlled irregularities suggest a deliberate “printed-from-hand-lettering” aesthetic aimed at adding personality and light drama to titles.
Capitals carry the strongest personality, with notably stylized forms (especially the round letters and the diagonal constructions) that amplify a quirky, vintage texture. Numerals are equally decorative and slightly irregular, matching the hand-rendered feel and maintaining the hollow, double-line motif.
