A decorative serif with tall, slender proportions and a gently uneven, hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes show subtle contrast and frequent flare-outs, with small bracketed serif cues and teardrop/spur-like terminals that give many letters a slightly spiky silhouette. Curves are narrow and vertical, counters are compact, and joins often taper, producing a lightly calligraphic texture across words. Overall spacing and widths vary by character, reinforcing an organic, non-mechanical feel while remaining legible in continuous text.
Works well for display use where personality is desired—book covers and chapter titles, boutique packaging, event invitations, posters, and themed branding (e.g., crafty, vintage, or magical/folklore motifs). It can also serve for short text passages or pull quotes when a light, illustrative texture is appropriate and generous spacing is available.
The font reads as playful and slightly antique, like a storybook or folkloric display face with a mischievous edge. Its pointed terminals and wobbly cadence suggest charm, curiosity, and a touch of eccentricity rather than strict formality. The tone feels crafted and illustrative, suited to whimsical narratives or themed graphics.
Likely designed to evoke a hand-rendered, classic-yet-playful serif look—combining traditional serif cues with expressive terminals and varied widths to create an intentionally quirky, narrative-friendly texture.
Capitals are especially tall and narrow, creating an airy verticality, while lowercase forms keep a compact, modest x-height that emphasizes ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same stylized, tapered construction, helping mixed text (letters and figures) maintain a consistent, characterful voice.
