A heavy, high-impact serif with distinctly flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that broaden into triangular terminals. Curves are full and slightly squarish in places, with softened corners and tight, compact counters that give the letters a dark, poster-ready color. The cap forms feel broad and stable, while many joins and terminals show subtle tapering and swelling, creating an engraved, hand-hewn rhythm rather than a strictly geometric one. Lowercase maintains a sturdy, rounded structure with short ascenders/descenders and pronounced terminal shapes that keep word shapes lively and irregularly rhythmic.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where the strong silhouettes and distinctive flared terminals can be appreciated. It works well for packaging, book covers, event posters, and branding marks that want a vintage or storybook voice. For extended text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where the compact counters and heavy color don’t crowd.
The overall tone is playful and old-world, evoking classic storybook titling, rustic signage, and vintage display typography. Its flared endings and chunky silhouettes add warmth and a slightly theatrical character, balancing charm with authority. The font reads as friendly and attention-grabbing rather than neutral or corporate.
The design appears intended as a characterful display serif that borrows from engraved and hand-carved traditions, using flared terminals and wedge serifs to create a crafted, historical impression. It prioritizes personality and impact, aiming to produce lively word shapes and strong presence in titles and branding.
Round letters like O and Q appear especially weighty, with the Q showing a prominent, stylized tail. Diagonals and arms often finish in sharp wedges, which can create a lively sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals match the letterforms with the same flared, carved-in feel and strong silhouette.
