A decorative serif with sharp wedge-like serifs, high stroke modulation, and a lively, slightly irregular pen-drawn rhythm. Terminals often taper to points or small hooks, and many capitals feature internal notches or inline cut-ins that add a carved, engraved feel. Curves are tight and springy (notably in S, C, and the bowls), while verticals remain relatively upright, producing a crisp silhouette. Spacing appears moderately open, with proportions that vary noticeably across letters, emphasizing character over strict uniformity.
Best suited for display work where its ornament and high-contrast strokes can read clearly—such as headlines, posters, book and game titles, packaging, and themed branding. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes at larger sizes, but the distinctive detailing will be most effective when given room to breathe.
The overall tone is whimsical and old-world, blending fairy-tale ornament with a faint gothic/folkloric edge. Its sharp serifs and playful interior details give it a theatrical, slightly mysterious voice that feels crafted and illustrative rather than purely typographic.
The design appears intended to evoke a handcrafted, vintage-inflected serif with added decorative cuts and pointed terminals, offering an expressive alternative to conventional oldstyle or transitional text faces. It prioritizes mood and recognizability—particularly in capitals—over neutrality, aiming for memorable titles and thematic typography.
Capitals carry most of the personality through decorative incisions and occasional swash-like strokes, while the lowercase is comparatively calmer but still shows pointed terminals and calligraphic joins. Numerals continue the same language with curled forms and lively, tapered strokes, helping headings and short bursts of copy feel cohesive.
