A contrasted slab serif with sturdy rectangular serifs and crisp, chiseled-looking terminals that often end in wedge-like or notched shapes. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, especially in curved letters, creating a lively rhythm and a slightly calligraphic texture despite the slab structure. Proportions are generally compact with prominent caps and rounded forms, while the lowercase maintains a readable, traditional skeleton; the numerals follow the same high-contrast, display-leaning logic.
Best suited for headlines, titling, posters, book covers, packaging, and branding where an expressive, heritage-inflected tone is desired. It can work for short editorial decks or pull quotes, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the terminal shapes and contrast can be appreciated. For long body copy, it will be most comfortable with generous size and spacing to keep the texture from feeling busy.
This typeface feels theatrical and slightly eccentric, with a confident, vintage-leaning voice. The sharp serif terminals and lively contrast give it a witty, storybook energy that reads as crafted rather than neutral. Overall it conveys charm, flourish, and a touch of dramatic emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, old-style personality within a slab-serif framework, using contrast and sculpted terminals to create memorable letterforms. Its detailing suggests a focus on character and impact over neutrality, aiming to stand out in short bursts of text while remaining legible.
Many letters feature distinctive slab terminals that read like stamped or engraved cuts, giving the font a carved, display-forward texture. The overall patterning is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive, decorative voice without tipping into illegibility.
