A tall, condensed decorative serif with sharp, chiseled terminals and intermittent wedge-like flares that make strokes feel cut with a penknife. Stems are mostly straight and vertical, while curves (C, G, O, S) are taut and narrow, giving the alphabet a squeezed, upright posture. Stroke endings often taper to points or small hooks, and several letters show uneven, hand-shaped inflections that create an intentionally irregular rhythm. Counters are compact and vertical, and the numerals echo the same narrow, blade-edged construction.
Best suited to display settings where a distinctive voice is desired—titles, chapter headers, posters, packaging accents, and entertainment branding. It can work well for fantasy, Halloween, or offbeat editorial themes, and as a UI or logo accent in games or events where personality matters more than neutrality.
The overall tone is theatrical and mischievous, mixing a blackletter-adjacent edge with playful, storybook eccentricity. It reads as intentionally odd and characterful—more like a prop for a fantasy title or spooky comedy than a neutral text face.
The design appears intended to evoke a hand-cut, medieval-tinged display look while staying playful rather than strictly historical. Its condensed proportions and sharpened terminals aim for maximum character and vertical presence in headlines.
Uppercase forms feel especially emblematic and poster-like, while lowercase maintains the same angular bite with a relatively large x-height for a condensed design. The texture is high-impact in short bursts, but the many pointed terminals and idiosyncratic shapes can build visual noise across long lines.
