A quirky serif display face with irregular, hand-cut contours and small triangular notches that read like chiseled or ink-flicked terminals. Strokes are mostly monoline with subtle tapering and flared ends, producing a lively, slightly jagged rhythm rather than smooth, mechanical curves. Proportions are inconsistent by design: rounds vary in openness, joins can feel pinched, and counters shift subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an intentionally offbeat texture. Uppercase forms stay broadly classical in structure, while lowercase shows more idiosyncratic shapes and compact proportions, keeping the overall color animated in text.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, and short phrases where its quirky terminals and uneven rhythm can be appreciated. It can also work well for playful packaging, book covers, or themed collateral that benefits from a handcrafted, storybook feel.
The font conveys a mischievous, fairy-tale tone—playful and a little uncanny—like lettering for puzzles, props, or whimsical signage. Its uneven edges and notched terminals add character and charm, suggesting craft, improvisation, and a lightly theatrical mood.
The design appears intended to deliver an intentionally imperfect, characterful serif that breaks from strict typographic regularity. Its notched, flared terminals and uneven detailing aim to create a distinctive voice for decorative, attention-getting typography rather than neutral text setting.
In the sample text, the face creates a strong, bouncy word shape profile and a decorative edge that becomes more apparent at larger sizes. The irregular terminals and occasional asymmetries add personality but also introduce visual noise that can compete with long passages.
