A slanted serif with a lively, calligraphic construction and modest stroke modulation. Serifs are small and often bracketed, with frequent flares and soft hooks that give stems and arms a subtly tapered, pen-like finish. Curves are generously rounded and occasionally embellished with looped or curled terminals (notably in forms like Q, y, and some figures), creating an animated texture across words. Proportions are compact with a relatively small lowercase core, while ascenders and capitals feel more prominent, producing a bouncy, irregular rhythm that stays consistent in overall style.
Best suited to display roles where its characterful serifs and curled terminals can be appreciated—such as headlines, book and album covers, posters, packaging, and invitations. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads, but the decorative details make it less ideal for long, small-size reading.
The font reads as playful and lightly formal, blending old-style elegance with a mischievous, hand-lettered charm. Its quirky curls and springy cadence evoke classic book typography, period advertising, and decorative titling rather than strict editorial neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide an expressive serif with a hand-crafted, italicized energy—combining traditional serif structure with decorative terminal flourishes to give everyday text a distinctive, story-driven voice.
In text, the distinctive terminals and angled entry/exit strokes create a strong personality that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. Numerals echo the same curled, slightly theatrical gestures, helping the font maintain a cohesive tone in mixed alphanumeric settings.
