A decorative serif with gently flared stroke endings and soft, wedge-like terminals that create a subtly chiselled, hand-cut feel. Strokes stay relatively even in thickness, while small bulges and tapers at joins and ends add motion and texture. Proportions are open and somewhat expanded, with rounded bowls and slightly irregular, humanist rhythm across the alphabet. The lowercase shows compact ascenders and clear counters, and the numerals follow the same flared, tapered logic for a cohesive color in text.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, titles, and short passages where its flared terminals and characterful rhythm can be appreciated. It can work well for branding, packaging, and book covers—especially in fantasy, craft, or heritage-leaning themes—while longer text will read most comfortably at larger sizes.
The overall tone is whimsical and story-driven, evoking fairy-tale, fantasy, or medieval-inspired signage more than sober editorial typography. Its lively terminals and gently eccentric shaping read as friendly and theatrical, with an old-world, hand-rendered charm.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with calligraphic flare, delivering an approachable, ornamental voice that feels handmade. Its consistent stroke weight and repeated terminal shapes suggest a focus on creating a recognizable texture and themed personality across both uppercase and lowercase.
In paragraphs, the letterforms maintain a consistent texture but the animated terminals and uneven stroke energy remain prominent, giving the text a distinctive voice. The sharp points and notches in some capitals and diagonals add bite, while the rounded curves keep it from feeling harsh.
