A decorative serif with sculpted, wedge-like serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. Stems often flare at the ends, creating a chiseled, ink-trap-like feel, while bowls and shoulders stay round and generously curved. Terminals frequently resolve into bulbous or teardrop shapes, and several forms show lively, slightly irregular transitions that suggest a hand-influenced construction rather than strict geometry. Overall spacing and rhythm are steady, but the letterforms keep a playful, carved quality through their varied terminals and distinctive serif shapes.
Best suited to display sizes where the flared serifs and rounded terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book covers, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes, but long passages may feel busy compared to more restrained serifs.
The tone feels storybook and old-world, with a theatrical, slightly mischievous charm. Its bold silhouettes and ornamental details evoke folkloric titles, vintage posters, and expressive editorial moments rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive serif voice with strong silhouettes and a handcrafted, carved-in-ink texture. It prioritizes character and memorability, using expressive terminals and bracketed serifs to create a period-leaning, decorative presence.
Uppercase forms read as sturdy and emblematic, while lowercase shows the most personality through curved terminals and animated joins. Numerals and punctuation carry the same flared, sculptural logic, helping the face maintain a consistent display character in mixed text.
