A compact serif display face with dark, sturdy strokes and subtly uneven contours that feel hand-shaped rather than mechanically rigid. Serifs are small and often forked or spurred, with occasional mid-stem nubs and softened joins that create a lively, carved-ink silhouette. Counters are relatively tight, curves are slightly lumpy, and terminals tend to finish with tapered hooks or flared wedges, giving the texture a tactile, print-like rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, cover titles, packaging labels, and themed signage where its textured serifs and spurred terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short pull quotes or chapter openers, but its busy edges make it less ideal for long, small-size reading.
The overall tone is folksy and slightly theatrical, balancing old-world charm with a mischievous, storybook energy. Its irregular edges and spur details evoke hand-printed signage, vintage ephemera, and playful fantasy settings rather than sleek modern editorial work.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, characterful serif with a deliberately handmade imprint—mixing traditional letterform structure with spur-and-fork detailing to create a distinctive, vintage-leaning voice for expressive titling.
Capitals read as prominent and decorative, while the lowercase remains sturdy and legible but with intentionally quirky details. The figures match the same hand-worked texture, making them suitable for short numeric callouts where character is more important than neutrality.
