A decorative serif with tall, condensed proportions and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Strokes taper into sharp terminals and small, pinched serifs, creating a slightly irregular, hand-drawn rhythm despite an overall consistent structure. Curves are narrow and verticalized, with occasional exaggerated hooks and teardrop-like details (notably in several lowercase forms and numerals), giving the face a lively, inked quality. Spacing feels compact and the texture is dark and wiry, with frequent pointed joins and flicked ends that read as calligraphic rather than geometric.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, book or game titles, packaging, and branding where a distinctive, characterful voice is desired. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set generously, but its idiosyncratic forms and tight rhythm make it most effective at larger sizes.
The font conveys a playful, slightly eerie storybook tone—equal parts quaint and mischievous. Its narrow, high-contrast silhouettes and spurred terminals suggest vintage display lettering, with a theatrical, magical edge that feels suited to fantasy and folklore contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a memorable, narrative-driven serif with a hand-inked, calligraphic flavor. By combining condensed proportions, sharp serifs, and expressive terminals, it aims for a stylized, decorative texture that stands out immediately in titles and themed graphics.
In running text the face keeps a strong vertical pull, with distinctive character shapes that prioritize personality over neutrality. Numerals echo the same tapered, calligraphic construction, and the overall color on the line is vivid due to the dense, condensed forms and sharp terminal activity.
