A decorative serif with chunky, dark strokes and sharply flared wedge serifs that often resolve into triangular spur-like terminals. The letterforms show an uneven, hand-cut rhythm: curves are slightly lumpy, joins are pinched, and many stems broaden into pointed feet and caps rather than ending in smooth brackets. Counters are compact and the overall silhouette is energetic, with frequent angular notches and tapering points that create a lively, irregular texture across words. Numerals and capitals share the same aggressive, chiseled finish, keeping the set visually consistent in display sizes.
Best suited to display applications such as poster headlines, book and album covers, event branding, and packaging where character is more important than long-form readability. It can also work for fantasy or historical-themed interfaces (e.g., game menus) and short pull quotes when set large.
The tone reads as storybook and medieval-adjacent, with a playful menace that can feel gothic without becoming blackletter. Its spiky terminals and carved shapes suggest fantasy ephemera, tavern signage, and theatrical titles, conveying drama and mischief more than refinement.
The font appears designed to evoke a carved or hand-rendered serif tradition, using exaggerated wedge serifs and pointed terminals to create a distinctive, old-world display voice. Its consistent spurs and angular finishes prioritize atmosphere and impact over quiet neutrality.
In text lines the strong serifs and sharp points create a busy edge and pronounced word shapes, making it most comfortable when given generous size and spacing. The design’s irregularities appear intentional, contributing to a hand-tooled, poster-like personality rather than a strictly formal book serif feel.
