A decorative serif with uneven, hand-shaped construction and an intentionally irregular rhythm. Strokes are mostly slender with occasional abrupt thickened blobs, producing a cut-paper or inked-by-hand impression rather than a smooth typographic texture. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, with frequent pinched joins and teardrop terminals; many counters are collapsed or fully filled, turning letters like O, Q, e, and 8 into solid shapes. Curves and bowls feel slightly lopsided, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a quirky, handcrafted look.
Best suited to display settings where its distinctive silhouettes and solid counterforms can be appreciated: posters, titles, book or chapter headings, packaging, and playful branding. It can also work well for themed materials such as games or event graphics, especially when set with generous size and spacing.
The font reads as mischievous and story-driven—more like a prop typeface for a tale, riddle, or poster than a neutral text face. The solid counters add a bold, graphic punch that feels theatrical and a little mysterious, while the spiky serifs keep it lively and eccentric.
The design appears intended to deliver a deliberately odd, handcrafted serif voice with high visual personality. By collapsing many interiors into solid shapes and mixing spiky serifs with droplet-like terminals, it prioritizes graphic impact and character over conventional readability.
In running text, the filled counters create strong black spots that dominate the texture and can reduce letter differentiation at smaller sizes. Numerals share the same handmade irregularity, with especially graphic forms for 6, 8, and 9 that stand out as symbols as much as digits.
