A dark, sturdy serif with distinctly flared stroke endings and small wedge-like terminals that give the outlines a carved, inked feel. Stems swell subtly into the serifs, producing a lively, slightly irregular rhythm and a textured silhouette in words. Counters are moderately open, with compact joins and pronounced, curved shoulders; the lowercase shows a rounded, single-storey feel in forms like a and g, while the uppercase stays broad and authoritative. Figures are strong and old-style in spirit, with curved strokes and emphatic terminals that match the text texture.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are desirable: headlines, poster typography, book and chapter titles, game interfaces, album art, and themed packaging. It also works well for short editorial callouts or pull quotes where a historic or fantastical mood is intended.
The face conveys a medieval-leaning, storybook tone—ornamental without becoming ornate—and reads as theatrical, mysterious, and a bit mischievous. Its chunky presence and flicked terminals suggest folklore, fantasy, and vintage display lettering rather than neutral text work.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, old-world voice through flared serifs and calligraphic modulation, prioritizing atmosphere and impact over strict neutrality. It’s built to create a distinctive, ornamental texture in words while remaining legible at typical headline sizes.
Pointy, inward-cut notches and flared feet create a distinctive bite at stroke ends, especially visible in diagonals and the arms of letters like E, F, and K. The overall word shape is bouncy and slightly uneven, which adds character and emphasis but can become visually busy in long passages at small sizes.
