A compact, heavy serif with pronounced wedge-like serifs and flared terminals that feel carved or brush-shaped rather than mechanically bracketed. Strokes are mostly sturdy and even, with gentle contrast and frequent swelling into triangular tips, giving many letters a slightly chiseled silhouette. Curves are full and somewhat irregular, counters are moderately tight, and joins often pinch or taper, creating a lively, hand-influenced rhythm. The lowercase shows a traditional, readable structure with a standard-height x-height, while numerals match the same stout, tapered construction for consistent color in text.
Well-suited for display typography where atmosphere matters: headlines, posters, and book covers that need a historical or folkloric flavor. It can also work for packaging and labels, as well as game titles or themed UI where a handcrafted, old-time serif voice is desired.
The face projects an old-world, storybook tone with a touch of medieval or tavern-sign character. Its quirky, inked terminals and softly uneven rhythm add warmth and personality, making it feel more folkloric than formal.
The design appears intended to blend familiar serif letterforms with expressive, flared terminals to create a distinctive decorative texture. It prioritizes character and thematic resonance while maintaining enough structure for readable short passages at larger sizes.
The strongest visual signature is the recurring triangular flare at stroke ends, which creates a decorative texture even in continuous reading. In longer lines, the dense weight and narrow setting produce a dark, emphatic typographic color that favors display sizes over small text.
