A sculpted serif with strong thick–thin modulation and prominently flared stroke endings. The letterforms mix sharp wedge-like serifs with soft, swelling terminals, creating a carved, calligraphic rhythm. Counters are often rounded and generous, while joins and shoulders show pronounced shaping that gives strokes a slightly pinched, chiseled feel. Proportions lean wide in several capitals and round letters, and the numerals share the same high-contrast, stylized construction for a cohesive, display-forward texture.
Best suited to display applications where the sculpted contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated: headlines, posters, title sequences, book and album covers, packaging, and branding that aims for a vintage or fantastical tone. It can work for short passages such as pull quotes or opening paragraphs when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is theatrical and storybook-like, blending a vintage print sensibility with playful, ornamental quirks. Its dramatic contrast and distinctive terminals read as confident and attention-seeking, with a hint of gothic or fantasy flair rather than modern neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide a highly characterful serif for titling, combining classic high-contrast structure with expressive flaring and rounded terminals to create a memorable, decorative voice.
In text settings, the strong internal shapes and flared endings create a lively, patterned color that can feel decorative even at moderate sizes. The most distinctive signature is the combination of wedge serifs and rounded, swelling terminals, which gives both capitals and lowercase a carved, emblematic presence.
