A decorative serif with sharply flared, wedge-like terminals and an uneven, hand-cut feel. Strokes show moderate contrast with frequent tapering into pointed ends, creating a lively rhythm and slightly irregular texture across lines. Serifs are small but assertive, often triangular and angled, and curves tend to pinch where they meet stems. The overall construction mixes broad, rounded bowls with abrupt, knife-edged joins, producing a crisp silhouette and a distinctly crafted look in both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings such as book covers, chapter openers, posters, game or event branding, and packaging where a crafted, dramatic serif can set a narrative mood. It can work in short paragraphs at larger sizes, but its active texture and sharp terminals are most effective when used for emphasis rather than dense reading.
The face reads as theatrical and story-driven—evoking fantasy, folklore, and medieval-inspired lettering rather than neutral book typography. Its pointed terminals and energetic stroke endings add drama and a touch of mischief, giving headlines an illustrative, narrative tone.
The design appears intended to translate calligraphic, hand-rendered sharpness into a consistent serif alphabet—prioritizing character and atmosphere over strict neutrality. Its wedge terminals and tapered joins are tuned to create a distinctive, illustrative voice that stands out in titles and themed layouts.
Capitals carry a strong display presence with exaggerated wedges and occasional asymmetry, while the lowercase maintains the same carved, tapering logic for continuity. Numerals follow the same spurred, flared treatment, keeping the set cohesive for titling and short bursts of text.
