A decorative serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs and frequent flaring at stroke terminals, giving many letters a chiseled, inked feel. Strokes show moderate contrast and a slightly calligraphic modulation, with crisp joins and pointed corners that create a lively, faceted texture. Uppercase forms are sturdy and classical in stance, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes and asymmetric details that add personality. Numerals are similarly stylized, with curved forms and angled terminals that maintain the same carved rhythm.
Best suited to titles, headings, and short-to-medium passages where a traditional serif voice with an unusual, decorative edge is desired. It can work well for literary branding, posters, menus, packaging, and heritage-leaning identities where texture and personality are beneficial.
The overall tone feels literary and characterful—evoking bookish, old-world signage and storybook display typography rather than neutral editorial text. Its pointed serifs and animated terminals add a mildly mischievous, handcrafted flavor that reads as distinctive and expressive.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif structures with sharper, wedge-like terminals and a more animated, handcrafted rhythm—aiming for readability at display sizes while clearly signaling a distinctive, decorative identity.
The face maintains consistent terminal logic across letters (notably in E/F/T and the diagonals of K/V/W/X), producing a cohesive, slightly spiky texture. Spacing appears comfortable in the sample setting, but the distinctive terminals and unevenly lively lowercase shapes draw attention and make the font feel more display-forward.
