A decorative serif with high-contrast strokes and pronounced flared, cupped terminals that give many letters a scooped, wedge-like finish. The outlines lean on broad curves and swelling bowls, paired with sharp notches and tapered joins that create an intentionally uneven rhythm. Capitals are wide and display-oriented with stylized structure (notably in forms like M, W, and R), while the lowercase keeps a rounded, slightly bouncy baseline presence. Numerals echo the same contrast and terminal treatment, with open, curvy shapes and occasional angular cuts.
Best used at medium to large sizes where the sculpted terminals and high-contrast details stay crisp. It suits headlines, short blurbs, display typography on posters, packaging, and book or chapter titles where a quirky, attention-grabbing voice is desired. For body copy, it will be most effective in short passages where texture and personality are prioritized over neutrality.
The overall tone is lighthearted and eccentric, suggesting a hand-influenced, theatrical personality rather than a strictly formal text face. Its exaggerated terminals and animated curves read as playful and slightly mischievous, with a vintage decorative flavor suited to expressive messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-of-a-kind, characterful display voice by combining classic serif bones with exaggerated flares, tapered strokes, and deliberately irregular detailing. It aims to create memorable word shapes and a decorative silhouette that stands out in branding and title treatments.
Counters tend to be generous and rounded, but many strokes end in distinctive flares that create strong word-shape texture. Spacing and proportions feel intentionally varied, producing a lively cadence that becomes more pronounced in longer settings.
