A lively display serif with flared, tapering terminals and wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically constructed. Strokes show moderate contrast and frequent swelling into ends, producing a subtly irregular rhythm across the alphabet. The bowls are round and full, while many joins and corners are sharpened into small points or beak-like hooks, especially on diagonals and curved terminals. Proportions are generally compact with a sturdy footprint; counters stay open and readable, and numerals follow the same tapered, slightly quirky construction.
Best suited to headlines, titles, posters, and packaging where its expressive flared endings can be appreciated. It also fits book covers, fantasy or historical-themed projects, event branding, and game UI titling where a handcrafted, narrative tone is desired.
The overall tone is playful and slightly old-world, evoking hand-cut lettering, medieval or Renaissance-inspired signage, and storybook titling. Its energetic terminals and uneven cadence give it a friendly, characterful voice rather than a formal or corporate one.
The design appears intended to capture the charm of hand-rendered, carved or brush-influenced serif lettering while keeping familiar letterforms and clear counters. The emphasis is on personality and texture—using flares, wedges, and pointed terminals to create an illustrative, display-forward voice.
In text, the animated terminal shapes and flaring ends create strong texture and noticeable word silhouettes, which helps for short passages and headings but can feel busy at very small sizes. Capitals are especially theatrical, while lowercase maintains legibility with distinctive, sometimes asymmetric details in letters like a, g, k, and t.
