This serif display face uses flared, wedge-like serifs and tapered strokes that suggest broad-nib or chiseled construction rather than rigid geometric drawing. Letterforms are compact with irregular, hand-cut rhythm: stems swell and narrow subtly, joins feel slightly asymmetrical, and many terminals finish in pointed or beak-like shapes. Counters are generally open but not overly large, and the overall texture is dark and punchy, with noticeable per-glyph width variation that gives lines a lively, uneven cadence.
Best suited to display settings such as book covers, chapter openers, posters, game titles, themed packaging, and brand marks that want an old-world or fantastical flavor. It will be most effective at medium-to-large sizes where the pointed terminals and flared serifs can be appreciated without crowding.
The tone reads theatrical and story-driven—evoking old-world signage, folklore, and fantasy titling. Its quirky, slightly mischievous serif treatment feels more illustrative than formal, adding character and motion even in short phrases.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif construction with an ornamental, hand-worked edge—balancing legibility with a deliberately idiosyncratic, narrative-driven look for attention-grabbing titles and expressive editorial moments.
The alphabet shows consistent wedge/flare logic across caps and lowercase, with distinctive, angular finishing that can create spiky silhouettes in words. Numerals match the same carved, decorative sensibility, making the set feel cohesive for headline use where personality is preferred over neutrality.
