A decorative serif with high-contrast, strongly tapered strokes and pronounced flared serifs that often end in sharp, wedge-like points. Counters are frequently shaped by internal cut-ins and teardrop/ball-like terminals, giving many letters a sculpted, almost stencil-carved feel. Proportions run generously wide with a steady cap height and a moderate x-height, while curves (notably in O/C/G and the bowls of b/d/p/q) are emphasized with thick outer arcs and tight inner apertures. Overall rhythm is bold and graphic, prioritizing distinctive silhouette over conventional text regularity.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and identity marks where the distinctive silhouettes can be read at larger sizes. It can also work for short, punchy subheads or pull quotes, but its ornamental interior shapes and tight counters make it less comfortable for long-form text at small sizes.
The tone reads vintage and theatrical, with a playful, storybook flourish. Its dramatic tapers and ornamental terminals suggest signage, poster titling, and period-inspired display work where personality is more important than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, decorative serif voice with a carved, high-contrast look—balancing classic serif cues with playful, customized shapes for strong display impact.
Uppercase forms lean toward emblematic shapes (especially M/W and the spur/cut-in treatments on letters like G and Q), while lowercase maintains the same carved contrast and flared footings. Numerals are stylized to match, with exaggerated curves and tapering strokes that keep the set cohesive in display contexts.
