A decorative serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and lively, calligraphic modulation. Strokes taper into pointed spurs rather than flat bracketed serifs, giving letters a carved, knife-edged finish. The design mixes strong vertical stems with sweeping curves and occasional triangular notches, producing an animated texture and a slightly irregular rhythm in text. Capitals are assertive and sculptural, while lowercase forms keep a rounded, expressive feel with compact counters and distinctive hooks on several joins and terminals. Numerals follow the same spurred, tapered logic, reading clearly while maintaining the font’s stylized personality.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, book covers, and characterful branding where its pointed terminals and expressive forms can be showcased. It can also work for short passages like pull quotes or chapter titles, but longer text benefits from generous size and spacing to keep the lively detailing from crowding.
The overall tone feels theatrical and story-forward—dramatic, slightly mischievous, and vintage-leaning without becoming overtly antique. Its sharp terminals and swirling curves suggest a handcrafted, poster-like energy that reads as playful yet authoritative.
The design appears intended to provide a distinctive serif voice that departs from classical book faces by emphasizing sharp, wedge terminals and animated curves. It aims to deliver strong personality and memorable silhouettes for expressive editorial and promotional settings.
In paragraph settings the font creates a textured, high-character color with noticeable spike-like finishing strokes that can become visually busy at small sizes. The pronounced silhouettes and decorative terminals help maintain recognition in display use, where the distinctive shapes have room to breathe.
