A compact, right-leaning display face with thick, dark strokes and brisk, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms feel drawn with a broad, slightly chiseled tool: strokes swell and taper subtly, producing pointed joins, occasional beak-like corners, and a gently uneven rhythm. Proportions are tight and tall, with narrow counters and a variable set width that adds a lively, hand-shaped texture across words. Curves are often pinched into teardrops or sharp hooks, while stems remain assertive and strongly silhouetted for high impact.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of copy where its distinctive silhouette can lead. It works well for book covers, event posters, themed packaging, and branding that wants a hand-rendered, folklore or fantasy-leaning voice, especially when paired with a calmer companion for body text.
The overall tone is whimsical and slightly archaic, blending a storybook charm with hints of old-world signage. Its energetic slant and spiky terminals give it a mischievous, theatrical character that reads as playful rather than formal.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-drawn, old-style lettering with a dramatic slant and assertive black shapes, prioritizing personality and texture over neutrality. Its compact width and decorative terminals suggest a focus on expressive display use and strong word shapes.
In longer text, the dense color and narrow spacing create a strong texture that rewards generous tracking and moderate sizes. The numerals and capitals carry the same angular, carved feeling, helping headings and short lines feel cohesive and decorative.
