A decorative serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and subtly irregular contours that suggest hand-inked or cut-letter construction. Serifs are wedge-like and often flared, with distinctive notched joins and chiseled-looking terminals that create small triangular counters and bite marks at corners. Capitals are sturdy and slightly wide-set with squared bowls and occasional asymmetry, while the lowercase shows a more animated rhythm with varied entry/exit strokes and compact, angular curves. Numerals echo the same carved, inked texture, with strong verticals and sharp, bracketed transitions that keep the overall color lively on the page.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short-to-medium passages where its carved terminals and high-contrast rhythm can be appreciated. It works well for editorial display, historical or fantasy-leaning branding, event posters, and packaging that benefits from a handcrafted or vintage print feel.
The tone feels old-world and craft-forward—part early print, part handmade signage. Its sharp serifs and roughened details lend a slightly gothic, folkloric flavor without becoming fully blackletter, making it feel evocative and characterful rather than formal.
The letterforms appear intended to reinterpret traditional serif construction through a deliberately roughened, hand-worked finish. By combining crisp contrast with notched joins and flared wedges, the design aims to deliver strong readability while projecting a distinctive, period-tinged, artisanal voice.
The design’s personality comes through in repeated corner notches, narrow apertures, and uneven stroke endings that create a textured word shape at text sizes. Spacing appears moderately open in the sample, helping the busy serif and terminal detail remain legible while preserving a distinctive, slightly rugged rhythm.
