A decorative serif with predominantly thin strokes and occasional thicker terminals, giving it a lightly calligraphic, hand-cut feel. Many capitals feature built-in cutouts, nicks, and irregular interior shapes, creating a distressed, ornamental silhouette rather than clean, typographic counters. Curves are smooth but frequently interrupted by notches or pointy intrusions, and several letters show intentionally uneven details that make the rhythm feel eccentric and unpredictable. Lowercase forms read more conventional and bookish at a glance, but still carry subtle irregularities and occasional incisions that keep the texture lively.
Best suited for display roles where character and texture are the priority: posters, headlines, title treatments, book or game covers, themed event materials, and expressive packaging. It can work in short bursts within body text, but the irregular interior detailing makes it most effective when given ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is oddball and theatrical—like a refined serif that’s been mischievously “haunted” with scratches and hidden shapes. It feels playful yet slightly unsettling, suited to humor with a dark twist and stylized, story-driven atmospheres.
The design appears intended to fuse a classic serif skeleton with intentional imperfections and embedded cutout motifs, producing a one-off display face that feels hand-altered and narrative. The contrast between relatively readable lowercase and highly embellished capitals suggests an emphasis on punchy, characterful titling.
The decorative interventions are most prominent in the uppercase set, which can create strong personality in short words but also introduces visual noise at smaller sizes. Numerals appear comparatively restrained, helping mixed text retain some stability even when caps are used for emphasis.
