A decorative, angular serif design with chiseled terminals and faceted curves that read as if cut from wood or stone. Strokes keep a mostly consistent thickness, while sharp joins, wedge-like feet, and pointed beaks create a restless edge throughout. Counters are irregular and often polygonal (notably in round letters and numerals), and widths vary noticeably between glyphs, producing an intentionally uneven rhythm. The lowercase mixes compact, narrow forms with occasional tall ascenders and deep descenders, and overall spacing feels display-oriented rather than text-optimized.
Best suited to short display copy where its jagged details and irregular rhythm can be appreciated—titles, pull quotes, posters, and themed branding. It fits especially well in fantasy or Halloween-adjacent contexts, game interfaces, event promos, and packaging that wants a hand-forged or storybook feel. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous line spacing help preserve clarity.
The font projects a mischievous, storybook-medieval tone—whimsical but slightly ominous, like signage in a fantasy tavern or lettering in a gothic comic. Its jagged contours and quirky proportions add humor and character, suggesting handmade craft and theatrical flair rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to emulate a handmade, carved-letter look with deliberately irregular geometry and expressive spurs, prioritizing personality and silhouette over typographic neutrality. Its consistent use of sharp facets and wedge terminals suggests a cohesive decorative concept aimed at theatrical, characterful display settings.
Capitals have strong silhouette variety and distinctive, angular bowls and shoulders, which helps at larger sizes but can look busy in dense settings. Numerals echo the same faceted geometry, with especially polygonal 0/8/9 forms that reinforce the cut-letter aesthetic.
