A decorative serif with stout, slightly condensed proportions and a lively, hand-inked regularity. Strokes are strong and fairly even, with gentle modulation and rounded joins that keep counters open despite the heavy color. Serifs are small and bracketed with occasional beak-like or flared terminals, giving many letters a subtly carved, calligraphic finish. Curves lean toward tall, oval forms, while straight stems feel slightly tapered, producing an uneven-but-controlled rhythm across words.
Best suited to headlines and short passages where its distinctive serif detailing can be appreciated—posters, packaging, book covers, and branding with a retro or handcrafted angle. It can work for brief editorial pull quotes, but the dense color and animated forms are more effective at display sizes than in long, small text settings.
The overall tone feels vintage and storybook-like, with a friendly eccentricity rather than strict formality. Its thick strokes and animated terminals suggest an editorial or artisanal voice—confident, a touch theatrical, and lightly whimsical.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation with added personality through flared terminals, compact bracketing, and slightly irregular curves, creating a warm display face that feels historic without being strictly traditional.
The uppercase reads as tall and stately, while the lowercase introduces more personality through curled terminals and slightly irregular shaping. Numerals are bold and characterful, matching the text weight and maintaining strong presence in display sizes.
