A flared serif design with gently tapered strokes that broaden into wedge-like terminals, giving letters a subtly carved, hand-cut feel. The stroke contrast is moderate and the rhythm is slightly uneven in a deliberate way, with narrow proportions and compact counters that keep the texture dense. Serifs are sharp and triangular rather than bracketed, and many joins and terminals show small kinks or notched angles that add bite. Lowercase forms are compact and readable, with a single-storey “g” and a distinctive “t” whose top ends flare outward; numerals follow the same chiseled, wedge-terminal logic for a cohesive color in text.
Well-suited to display roles such as book covers, chapter titles, posters, and packaging where a distinctive, story-forward voice is helpful. It can also work for branding and editorial pull quotes when used at sizes that let the sharp wedges and small inflections remain clear. For longer passages, it performs best with generous size and comfortable leading to keep the pointed terminals from crowding.
The overall tone is playful and characterful, reading as literary and slightly mischievous rather than formal. Its crisp wedges and irregular calligraphic inflections evoke folklore, fantasy ephemera, and old-world signage, while still staying clean enough for modern layout. The texture feels animated and expressive, lending personality without becoming fully ornamental.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with a more hand-rendered, flared-terminal vocabulary, creating a readable face with a strong sense of personality. Its narrow build and wedge-like endings aim to deliver a compact, energetic texture that stands out in headlines and thematic settings without resorting to heavy ornament.
In the sample text, the dense spacing and pointed terminals create a strong, dark word shape and a lively baseline rhythm. The capitals carry a bit more theatrical flair with pronounced wedge terminals, making them especially effective for emphasis and initial caps. The figures and punctuation harmonize well with the letterforms, maintaining the same flared stroke endings and angular detailing.
