A decorative italic serif with lively, calligraphic construction and subtly uneven stroke edges. The letterforms show flared terminals, softly bracketed serifs, and a gently wandering baseline rhythm that feels hand-drawn rather than mechanically rigid. Strokes are enriched by internal carved details that create a chiseled, engraved look, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph for a more organic texture. Counters stay open and rounded, while ascenders tend to be tall relative to the compact lowercase body, reinforcing the short x-height impression.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short passages where its carved detailing can be appreciated—such as posters, book covers, branding marks, and packaging. It also works well for themed materials that benefit from a vintage or storybook tone, while extended body copy will generally require generous size and spacing to maintain clarity.
The font communicates an old-world, theatrical personality with a playful, slightly mischievous charm. Its carved inline detailing and italic motion evoke printed ephemera, storybook headings, and display lettering meant to feel crafted and expressive rather than neutral.
Designed to deliver a classic italic serif voice with added visual intrigue through carved internal detailing and a hand-crafted rhythm. The intent appears to be a display face that reads clearly in short bursts while projecting a distinctive, engraved personality.
The inline cut-ins are most noticeable on verticals and bowls, producing a lively sparkle at larger sizes. The overall rhythm favors display use: distinctive silhouettes and idiosyncratic spacing create character, while dense text blocks become visually busy as the internal detailing accumulates.
