A decorative serif with a hand-drawn, calligraphic construction and flared, wedge-like terminals. Strokes show gentle modulation and occasional ink-trap-like nicks, with pointed spur details on corners and joins that create a slightly spiky silhouette. Proportions are compact and mixed—tall ascenders and deep descenders against small lowercase bodies—producing a lively, uneven rhythm. Capitals are narrow and sculptural, while the lowercase mixes rounded bowls with tapered entry strokes; numerals follow the same tapered, slightly eccentric forms.
Best suited for display typography such as book covers, chapter headings, film/game titles, posters, and themed packaging where a distinctive, narrative voice is desired. It can work for short phrases and pull quotes, while longer text benefits from generous size and comfortable line spacing to keep the decorative terminals from crowding.
The overall tone feels storybook and enchanted, evoking old-world titles, folklore, and theatrical lettering rather than modern neutrality. Its quirky edges and animated terminals give it a playful, magical character with a subtle antique flavor.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with expressive, pen-like quirks, prioritizing personality and atmosphere over strict regularity. It aims to provide an ornate, illustrative voice that reads as crafted and slightly antique.
Texture varies from glyph to glyph in a way that reads intentionally handmade, with occasional asymmetries and idiosyncratic stroke endings. In longer settings the sharp terminals and compact lowercase can create a lively but busy color, making spacing and size choice important.
