This typeface is a high-contrast serif with strongly tapered strokes and flared, wedge-like terminals that create a sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel. Serifs are sharp and often triangular, with noticeable bracketing and curvature where strokes transition into terminals. Letterforms show lively modulation and a subtly uneven rhythm, with narrow joins, teardrop-like counters in places, and distinctive, angular diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X, and Y). Numerals echo the same engraved, chiseled logic, with pointed terminals and dramatic thick-to-thin shifts.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, titles, posters, book covers, and branding where its wedge terminals and contrast can be appreciated. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set generously, but the decorative terminals and lively rhythm are most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is theatrical and folkloric—more talebook and vintage display than sober editorial. Its sharp wedges and dramatic contrast suggest an old-world, crafted voice that feels decorative, quirky, and slightly gothic without becoming strictly blackletter.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif construction with exaggerated, wedge-shaped terminals and calligraphic modulation, prioritizing character and a handcrafted, vintage presence. It aims to deliver an expressive display voice that remains legible while clearly ornamental.
Uppercase forms feel emblematic and sign-like, while the lowercase adds personality through varied entry/exit strokes and pronounced terminals, producing an intentionally animated texture in text. The sharp terminals and contrast make the design feel crisp at larger sizes, where the distinctive flaring details remain clear.
