A decorative roman with thin strokes and a deliberately irregular, hand-made finish. Forms are slightly condensed with lively width variation from glyph to glyph, and many curves show sharp, chipped-looking notches that read like cut-paper or pen-scratch inktraps. Serifs are inconsistent and often wedge-like or implied rather than fully bracketed, while joins and terminals frequently taper into points. Counters tend to be small and sometimes off-center, giving the overall texture a jittery, animated rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where its irregular details can be appreciated: posters, titles, book covers, themed packaging, and playful branding. It can also work for game UI or event graphics when used in short bursts, but the busy texture may tire in long paragraphs or at small sizes.
The tone is playful and oddball, with a mischievous, DIY personality that feels more illustrated than typographic. Its spiky cuts and uneven refinements suggest magic, folklore, or comic eccentricity rather than formality. The overall impression is energetic and slightly chaotic in a controlled, decorative way.
The design appears intended to provide a one-of-a-kind decorative voice that mimics hand-drawn or hand-cut lettering while keeping recognizable roman proportions. The goal seems to be distinctive character shapes and memorable texture over strict consistency or text readability.
Round letters like C, O, and Q emphasize the cut-in wedges and notched interiors, creating distinctive silhouettes at display sizes. Numerals echo the same hand-hewn logic, mixing smooth arcs with abrupt angles and occasional exaggerated tails.
