A decorative serif design with pronounced wedge-like serifs and sharp, notched joins that create a cut-out, faceted silhouette. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation, with narrow waists and swelling curves that give many letters a slightly pinched, sculpted feel. Terminals often flare into triangular blades, and counters are irregularly shaped, producing a lively, uneven rhythm. Overall proportions stay fairly upright, while letterfit and internal shapes vary enough to keep the texture animated in words.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short expressive copy where its carved, wavy texture can be appreciated. It works well for posters, book covers, game or fantasy-themed titling, and playful packaging or branding accents, especially at larger sizes.
The tone is playful and mischievous, with a storybook, medieval-fair flair rather than a classical book-serif formality. Its spiky notches and flared endings suggest hand-cut signage or theatrical titling, giving text a humorous, slightly dramatic edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-of-a-kind display voice by combining high-contrast serif structure with deliberately irregular cuts and wedges. The goal seems to be instant character and novelty impact rather than neutral readability, producing a distinctive texture that feels crafted and theatrical.
In continuous text the distinctive notches and sharp wedges create a strong patterning, which favors display sizes where the interior shaping and terminals remain clear. Numerals match the same faceted, flared construction, reinforcing a consistent decorative voice across headings and short lines.
