A quirky, decorative roman with sharp wedge-like terminals and irregular, slightly distressed stroke edges that create a chiseled, cut-paper feel. Forms mix relatively clean bowls with abrupt, angular joins—especially in diagonals—producing a lively, uneven rhythm. Serifs are minimal but pointed and flared, and many glyphs show intentional notches or roughened corners that read as texture rather than smooth outlines. The overall construction stays readable while leaning into eccentric proportions and idiosyncratic details across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display contexts where personality is the goal: posters, punchy headlines, book or album covers, packaging, and short editorial callouts. It can also work for themed event materials and playful branding, especially when used with generous spacing and simple supporting typography.
The tone is playful and offbeat, with a slightly gothic-storybook edge—more mischievous than formal. Its sharp tips and roughened finish suggest handmade craft, oddball humor, and a faintly spooky, vintage vibe without becoming overtly horror-themed.
Likely designed to provide a distinctive, one-off display voice that feels handcrafted and characterful while remaining broadly legible. The intent reads as adding texture and humor through pointed terminals, uneven edges, and unconventional detail rather than relying on extreme abstraction.
Capitals and lowercase share the same angular terminal language, which helps consistency despite the intentional irregularities. The texture is subtle enough to hold at display sizes, but the jagged detailing becomes a key personality trait as sizes increase.
