A decorative serif with high contrast and intentionally irregular construction. Strokes swing between thin hairlines and swollen, teardrop-like terminals, with frequent wedge cuts and sharp, chiseled joins. Curves are often slightly lopsided, counters vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, and several characters feature abrupt notches or hook-like inflections that break a smooth rhythm. Capitals mix broad, round forms (C, O, Q) with narrow, blade-like stems (E, F, H), while lowercase shows alternating calligraphic curves and stiff verticals, creating a visibly variable texture across words. Numerals follow the same logic, pairing simple outlines with occasional exaggerated bowls and tapered ends.
Best used at display sizes where its cut-in details and exaggerated terminals stay clear. It suits posters, book and game covers, theatrical or seasonal promos, and packaging that benefits from a quirky, handcrafted voice. For longer reading, it works more reliably in short bursts—titles, pull quotes, or playful headings—rather than dense paragraphs.
The overall tone is mischievous and theatrical, reading more like hand-cut lettering than a neutral text face. Its uneven rhythm and sharp accents give it a slightly spooky, storybook flavor—playful but a bit uncanny—well suited to attention-grabbing display use.
The font appears designed to prioritize personality over regularity, using high-contrast strokes and irregular, carved-looking details to create a one-off decorative texture. It aims to feel handmade and expressive, injecting humor and oddness into otherwise familiar serif letterforms.
The design leans on distinctive terminal treatments (droplets, hooks, and triangular cuts) as a unifying motif, but it deliberately avoids strict consistency, so repeated letters can feel characterful rather than uniform. Spacing appears to produce a lively, bouncy word silhouette in the sample text, with especially prominent descenders and occasional top-heavy capitals.
