A very heavy serif with broad, flaring terminals that read like carved wedges rather than crisp hairline serifs. Strokes stay largely even in weight, with subtle swelling toward endings and pronounced, inward-scooped joins that create a chiseled silhouette. Counters are compact and rounded, spacing feels sturdy, and the overall rhythm is bouncy and slightly irregular in a deliberate, hand-carved way that remains upright and readable at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short passages where a strong, character-driven voice is desired—such as book covers, fantasy or historical packaging, pub/tavern branding, posters, and event promotions. It can also work for pull quotes and logo wordmarks when a sturdy, vintage atmosphere is needed, but it will likely feel dense in long body text at small sizes due to its heavy color and tight interiors.
This typeface conveys a folkloric, storybook tone with a slightly mysterious, theatrical edge. Its heavy, sculpted forms feel confident and emphatic, suggesting tradition, ritual, and a touch of the gothic without becoming brittle or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver strong display presence with an old-world, carved aesthetic. By using flared terminals, compact counters, and pronounced sculpting at joins, it aims to feel traditional and characterful while staying bold and legible for short-to-medium text settings.
The numerals and uppercase forms keep a consistent, blocky weight, reinforcing a dark typographic color on the page. Several letters show pointed, fin-like terminals and softly concave edges that enhance the hand-carved impression and give the line a distinctive texture in running text.
