A decorative serif design with sharp, wedge-like terminals and pronounced stroke modulation. Many strokes taper to points or flare into triangular feet, giving the letterforms a carved, chiseled feel. Counters are generally open and rounded, while joins and serifs often break into angular notches and spur-like protrusions. The rhythm is lively and slightly irregular, with distinctive, sculptural silhouettes that emphasize gesture over strict typographic uniformity.
Best used for display typography where its spiky, carved terminals and lively contrast can be appreciated—such as headlines, posters, book covers, and themed branding. It can also add character to packaging, titles, or short bursts of text where a whimsical, story-driven tone is desired, while longer passages benefit from generous sizing and spacing.
The font reads as quirky and fantastical, with a slightly spooky, impish edge. Its pointed terminals and animated curves suggest folklore, magic, and playful eccentricity rather than sober editorial tone. Overall it conveys a handcrafted, theatrical mood suited to expressive display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, one-of-a-kind voice by combining calligraphic curves with sharply cut, wedge-like serifs. Its irregular, sculpted details prioritize personality and thematic atmosphere, aiming to make even simple words feel animated and distinctive.
Uppercase forms lean into dramatic wedge serifs and angular interruptions, while lowercase introduces more flowing curves and occasional exaggerated descenders (notably in g, y, and j). Numerals continue the same tapered, cut-in styling, keeping a consistent ornamental voice across the set. In paragraph settings the strong silhouette variety creates an engaging texture but can feel busy at smaller sizes.
