This serif display face uses lively, irregular letterforms with flared, wedge-like serifs and frequent notched cut-ins that create a carved or hand-cut silhouette. Strokes show modest modulation and abrupt angular transitions, producing sharp interior corners and occasional triangular counters. Curves are slightly pinched and asymmetrical, and many terminals end in pointed, tapered wedges rather than smooth balls. Spacing and glyph widths feel intentionally uneven, giving the alphabet a bouncy rhythm while remaining clearly legible at larger sizes.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short passages where its irregular rhythm and cut-in details can read as intentional texture. It works well for posters, book covers, playful branding, packaging, and event graphics that benefit from a handcrafted, story-driven feel rather than neutrality.
The overall tone is mischievous and theatrical, suggesting a playful, slightly oddball personality. Its choppy serifs and notched details evoke craft, folklore, or vintage poster energy rather than corporate polish, giving text a spirited, characterful voice.
The design appears intended to deliver an eccentric serif with a crafted, carved look—combining classic serif structure with deliberate disruptions (notches, pinches, and sharp wedges) to create a distinctive display voice.
Uppercase shapes lean toward dramatic silhouettes (notably in rounded letters like C, G, O, and Q), while the lowercase maintains strong individuality with tall, narrow stems and emphatic serif flares. Numerals keep the same cut-and-chisel motif, helping mixed text feel cohesive in headlines and short bursts.
