A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, pairing heavy main strokes with very thin hairlines. Serifs are sharp, slightly irregular, and often flare into wedge-like points, giving many joins and terminals a cut, inked look. Proportions run on the broad side with generous counters, while widths vary noticeably from letter to letter, creating a lively, uneven rhythm. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and compact ascenders/descenders, and the overall texture alternates between dense black shapes and delicate connecting strokes.
Best used for display applications such as posters, book jackets, album art, packaging, and logo wordmarks where its contrast and pointed serif details can be appreciated. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes, chapter openers), but the energetic texture is most effective at larger sizes.
The tone is theatrical and slightly mischievous, blending a classic serif foundation with hand-hewn, storybook-like bite. Its spiky finishing and dramatic contrast evoke vintage display lettering—suited to atmospheric, characterful messaging rather than neutral text setting.
Designed to deliver a bold, high-contrast serif voice with intentionally expressive, slightly roughened details—aiming for drama and character while retaining recognizable serif structures. The varying widths and flared, spurred terminals suggest an intention to feel crafted and animated rather than mechanically even.
The font’s personality comes from deliberate inconsistency: some glyphs feel softly rounded while others have abrupt notches and hooked terminals, producing a jittery, animated color across lines. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare logic, reading as decorative rather than strictly utilitarian.
