A lively, hand-drawn serif with a tall, narrow stance and subtle width variability across letters. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals that often flick into small, spiky wedge-like serifs, giving outlines an inked, slightly scratchy feel. Curves are gently lopsided rather than geometric, and joins/shoulders stay soft, creating an organic rhythm. The lowercase reads compact with small counters and a comparatively modest x-height, while ascenders and capitals feel prominent and slightly theatrical.
Best suited to display use where its hand-rendered texture and narrow proportions can add character—such as book covers, posters, packaging labels, and editorial or cultural headlines. It can also work for short pull quotes or invitation-style materials when a friendly, illustrative voice is desired.
The overall tone is playful and storybook-like, with a quirky, slightly archaic flavor reminiscent of hand-lettered titles. Its uneven, energetic detailing adds personality and charm rather than polish, leaning toward whimsical and expressive communication.
The design appears intended to capture the charm of informal pen-and-ink lettering while retaining a readable serif structure. Its narrow build and lively terminals suggest a focus on distinctive titling and expressive branding rather than neutral text typography.
Capital forms are especially characterful, with narrow silhouettes and distinctive terminals that create a crisp, calligraphic sparkle in headlines. Numerals follow the same hand-inked logic with tapered strokes and slightly varied proportions, keeping the set cohesive in display settings.
