A decorative serif with flared, wedge-like serifs and a gently irregular, hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with subtly tapered joins and angled stress that gives many counters a carved or incised feel. Terminals often sharpen into points or small beaks, and several letters feature curled spur details and slightly exaggerated bowls. Spacing appears open and the proportions run broad, producing a lively texture that remains readable while clearly prioritizing character over strict uniformity.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short-to-medium passages where personality is desired—such as book covers, posters, themed event materials, packaging, or boutique branding. It can work for body text at comfortable sizes, but its decorative terminals and lively rhythm will read most confidently when given enough size and spacing.
The overall tone is playful and storybook-like, with a vintage display flavor that suggests craft, fantasy, or light theatricality. Its quirky terminals and swashy touches add charm and motion, keeping the page feeling animated rather than formal.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through a more illustrative, hand-crafted lens, adding flared serifs, pointed terminals, and subtle swash-like details to create a distinctive display voice while keeping familiar letterforms.
Uppercase forms are especially ornamental, while lowercase retains the same flared serif language with occasional looped or hooked details (notably in letters like g, j, and s). Numerals carry the same pointed, flared finishing, helping headings and short callouts feel cohesive alongside text.
