A compact, dark serif with lightly calligraphic construction and sturdy, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show subtle contrast and a slightly irregular, hand-cut rhythm: stems are firm, curves are full, and joins often swell into teardrop-like forms that read as mild ink-traps at small junctions. The texture is lively rather than strictly geometric, with rounded counters, small apertures on some letters, and occasional asymmetry that gives the alphabet a carved or printed-from-wood feel. Numerals and lowercase follow the same chunky, organic detailing, producing a dense, readable color in display sizes.
Well-suited for headlines, titles, and short passages where a distinctive, old-style serif voice is desired—such as book covers, editorial openers, boutique branding, and packaging. It can also work for signage or labels that benefit from a hand-made, traditional print character.
The tone suggests vintage print and folktale signage—warm, human, and a little mischievous. Its lively stroke modulation and slightly uneven detailing add personality and charm without becoming distressed or overtly decorative.
The design appears intended to blend conventional serif structure with a handcrafted, print-era character—delivering a compact display face that feels traditional yet idiosyncratic, with attention to lively joins and softened, wedge-like serifs.
The narrow proportions and short lowercase height create a compact silhouette, while the heavy serifs and softened terminals help maintain clarity. The sample text shows strong word-shape presence and an assertive line texture, making it feel best suited to larger sizes where the nuanced joins and small internal spaces remain open.
