A heavy display serif with flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that create a carved, calligraphic impression. Strokes swell toward terminals, producing a sculpted silhouette and a gently uneven rhythm across letters, especially in diagonals and curved forms. The forms are broad and open with rounded inner counters, while many joins and corners feel softened rather than sharply machined. Numerals and capitals share the same bold, high-impact construction, with distinctive triangular notches and tapered endings that add texture at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where its flared terminals and bold silhouettes can be appreciated. It works well for posters, book covers, packaging, and branding that benefits from a retro or storybook tone, and it can add character to pull quotes or section headers when set with ample spacing.
The overall tone feels playful and story-forward, mixing old-style sign painting energy with a slightly spooky, fairy-tale theatricality. Its chunky, flared shapes read as friendly but dramatic, suggesting vintage posters, fantasy titles, and expressive branding rather than quiet, utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly recognizable, decorative serif voice through exaggerated flaring and wedge-like endings, prioritizing personality and impact at display sizes. Its broad proportions and open counters suggest an effort to keep the heavy weight readable while maintaining a distinctly theatrical, vintage feel.
The texture is intentionally lively: similar stem weights are maintained, but terminal shaping varies enough to keep lines of text animated. Round letters (O, Q, e, o) maintain generous counters for a dark display face, helping legibility in short phrases, while the distinctive terminal cuts and wedges provide a strong, recognizable voice.
