A flared serif design with sturdy verticals that blossom into wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed joins. The forms are compact and slightly condensed, with rounded bowls, high-shouldered arches, and a lively, hand-shaped rhythm rather than strict geometric repetition. Serifs read as tapered and sculptural, and many strokes end with subtle swelling that gives letters a carved, poster-like presence. Lowercase counters stay fairly open for the style, while ascenders are prominent and the overall texture is dark and even in running text.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where its flared terminals and compact proportions can read as intentional character. It works well for book covers, theatrical or event posters, heritage-leaning branding, and packaging that benefits from a crafted, traditional tone.
The font conveys an old-world, storybook character with a theatrical edge—confident and slightly eccentric rather than strictly formal. Its flared endings and gently calligraphic shaping suggest tradition, craft, and a touch of whimsy.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with flared, hand-shaped terminals to create a distinctive display voice. It prioritizes personality and a carved, historical feel while remaining coherent enough for brief text settings.
Capitals are broad and emblematic, with noticeable flare at stroke ends that enhances stability at display sizes. Numerals are rounded and weighty, matching the letterforms’ sculpted terminals and maintaining a cohesive, decorative texture.
