This serif has chunky, flared terminals and wedge-like serifs with a subtly irregular, hand-cut outline that gives strokes a gently wavy edge. Stems and bowls show modest contrast with noticeable tapering into joins, and several letters exhibit pinched or notched interior corners that read like ink traps. Uppercase forms are broad and assertive with pronounced serifs, while the lowercase keeps a compact, slightly bouncy rhythm; the overall spacing feels open enough for display sizes while retaining a dense, dark texture. Numerals match the serifed, sculpted construction and carry the same softened, slightly organic contours.
Well-suited to headlines and short blocks of text where character is a priority—posters, book and album covers, theatrical or event materials, and vintage-leaning branding. It can also work for packaging and labels where a handcrafted, heritage mood helps differentiate the voice.
The tone is theatrical and story-driven, mixing old-style seriousness with a playful, slightly mischievous twist. Its hand-hewn details evoke heritage printing, folklore, and period flavor without going fully blackletter, making it feel charming rather than formal.
The likely intention is to deliver a distinctive serif with a handcrafted, vintage-evocative texture—combining sturdy, classic proportions with deliberately irregular detailing to add narrative charm and display impact.
The design’s personality comes from consistent micro-variation: tapered ends, scooped counters, and occasional angular kinks that create a lively texture in words. In longer lines it produces a strong, dark color and a distinctive rhythm, so it reads best when you want the type to be noticed rather than disappear.
