A heavy, compact serif with pronounced flared terminals that widen at stroke endings, creating a carved, slightly calligraphic silhouette. Strokes stay largely even, with subtle tapering and scooped notches where curves meet stems, giving the letterforms a chiseled, hand-shaped feel. Counters are relatively small and bowls are rounded, while the serifs read more as soft, wedge-like flares than crisp brackets. The overall rhythm is bouncy and irregular in a controlled way, with noticeable variation in glyph widths across the set.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, titles, book covers, and packaging where its flared serifs and sculpted details can be appreciated. It can also work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) when a playful, characterful tone is desired.
The face feels whimsical and theatrical, with a vintage storybook energy that can swing toward spooky or comic depending on context. Its chunky presence and animated terminals suggest display-driven personality rather than quiet neutrality.
Designed to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing serif voice with hand-carved charm, using flared terminals and scooped joins to create a distinctive, decorative texture. The intent appears focused on expressive readability for prominent, character-led typographic moments.
The sample text shows strong word-shape and high impact at larger sizes, while tight internal counters and sharp notches can build texture in paragraphs. Numerals match the letterforms’ flared, slightly irregular construction and maintain the same punchy color.
