A decorative serif with dramatic wedge-like flares and sharply tapered terminals that create an incised, almost cut-out look. Strokes swing between full, rounded bowls and abrupt, knife-edged entry/exit points, producing lively rhythm and pronounced black–white interplay. Curves are generously circular (notably in O, C, and o), while many joins pinch inward, giving counters a distinctive sculpted shape. Overall proportions feel display-oriented with compact internal spaces in several letters, and the digit set follows the same flared, high-style modulation.
Best suited for short display settings where its distinctive silhouettes can read clearly—posters, packaging, headlines, album or book covers, and playful branding. It can also work for titles or pull quotes when given generous size and spacing to keep the counters from filling in visually.
The tone is mischievous and theatrical, balancing vintage sign-lettering energy with an eccentric, storybook twist. Its sharp flares and quirky internal cut-ins give it a “crafted” personality that feels more like a logo or headline voice than a neutral text face.
The design appears intended to deliver a memorable, one-off display voice built on strong silhouettes, flared serifs, and dramatic internal shaping. Rather than aiming for neutrality, it prioritizes character and visual surprise, lending itself to attention-grabbing typography.
Several glyphs show strong stylistic motifs—pinched waists, crescent-like cut-ins, and exaggerated wedge serifs—that create a cohesive system across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The texture becomes dense at smaller sizes due to tight counters and prominent terminals, while larger settings emphasize the sculptural silhouettes.
