A heavy display serif with pronounced flared stems and wedge-like serifs that broaden into sharp, triangular tips. Strokes read largely even in thickness, with subtle swelling toward terminals that creates a carved, chiseled rhythm. Counters are generally open and round, and many joins and corners are softened by small scoops or notches, giving the silhouettes a slightly incised look. The lowercase features compact, sturdy forms with prominent terminals and a single-storey a and g; figures are wide and bold with similarly flared finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short-form display settings where its flared terminals and carved texture can be appreciated. It can add personality to packaging, labels, and event branding, and it works well for book covers or chapter titles that benefit from an old-world or folkloric tone. For longer passages, it will be most effective at larger sizes where the terminal details remain distinct.
The overall tone feels folkloric and storybook-like, mixing a friendly roundness with crisp, blade-like terminals. It evokes hand-carved signage, traditional print ornament, and a lightly medieval or old-world flavor without becoming overly formal. The strong black presence makes it feel festive and attention-grabbing, suited to expressive, characterful typography.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a bold, traditional character through consistent flaring and wedge-like finishing strokes, aiming for a hand-crafted, engraved impression. Its sturdy proportions and emphatic terminals prioritize personality and impact over neutrality, making it a deliberate display face with a strong thematic voice.
The design relies on repeated terminal motifs—small triangular spurs, flares, and inward scoops—which creates a consistent texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals. In text, the dense weight and distinctive terminals produce a lively, patterned color; spacing appears comfortable for display sizes where the flared details can read clearly.
