A lively serif with pronounced flared stems and wedge-like serifing that often resolves into tapered, brushy terminals. Stroke contrast is evident, with a slightly calligraphic modulation and rounded, swelling joins that give the outlines an inked, hand-drawn feel. Proportions lean wide in many capitals, while counters stay open and generous; curves are full and elastic, and diagonals terminate with distinctive hooked or beaked endings. The overall rhythm is energetic and uneven-in-a-controlled-way, emphasizing sculpted silhouettes over strict geometric regularity.
Best suited to display sizes where its flared stroke endings and sculpted letterforms can be appreciated—titles, pull quotes, magazine headings, packaging, and theatrical or event posters. It can also work for short editorial passages when a distinctive, vintage voice is desired, though the strong personality will dominate at larger blocks of text.
The tone feels storybook and old-world, with a playful eccentricity that reads as human and crafted rather than mechanical. Its flared strokes and expressive terminals add a theatrical, slightly medieval or folk-art flavor, making text feel warm, charming, and characterful.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif structure with expressive, calligraphy-informed flare and terminal shapes, delivering a decorative yet readable face for character-driven typography. It prioritizes memorable silhouettes and a warm, handcrafted texture over strict typographic neutrality.
Capitals show especially distinctive shapes (notably rounded forms like C, G, and S, and the beaked terminals on several diagonals), which creates strong personality in display settings. Numerals are bold and curvy with prominent bowls and small, sharp finishing strokes, matching the lively serif language and keeping a consistent, decorative texture in mixed alphanumeric lines.
