A decorative serif with flared, blade-like terminals and crisp, triangular serifs that give the strokes a carved, incised feel. The letterforms are broad and open with generous counters, and the curves are drawn with a smooth, almost brush-cut modulation that stays visually even across the set. Many joins and terminals resolve into pointed wedges (notably on E/F arms, S curves, and diagonals), creating a rhythm of sharp accents against rounded bowls. Lowercase forms keep a sturdy, readable core but add distinctive notches and spur-like serifs; the overall texture is lively and slightly irregular in a controlled, designed way.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, book covers, and themed packaging where its sculpted serif detailing can be appreciated. It can work for short to medium passages in larger sizes when a distinctive, narrative voice is desired, but its sharp terminals and decorative cuts make it less ideal for dense small-size text.
The font conveys a theatrical, storybook tone—ornamental and a bit dramatic—suggesting medieval signage, fantasy titling, or vintage display work. Its spiky terminals and carved silhouettes feel ceremonial and handcrafted rather than neutral or purely editorial.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif structure with expressive, chiseled terminals—prioritizing personality, theme, and memorable silhouettes while maintaining enough openness for comfortable reading at display sizes.
The caps are especially stylized with strong flare and pronounced wedge cuts, while the lowercase stays comparatively friendly and legible in text. Numerals follow the same ornamental logic, with curved forms and tapered ends that match the serif language, making the set feel cohesive for display lines.
