A decorative serif with a high-contrast, chiseled look and frequent flared, triangular terminals. Many joins are pinched or notched, creating small ink-trap–like cut-ins that give the strokes a carved, almost stencil-adjacent feel. Bowls tend toward round, geometric forms while stems and diagonals carry sharp facets; this mix produces lively texture and uneven rhythm in text. Proportions are generally compact with a normal x-height, and several letters show deliberately idiosyncratic shapes (notably in S, R, K, and the lowercase).
Best suited to headlines, posters, and packaging where distinctive letter shapes can be appreciated at display sizes. It can also work for branding accents or short pull quotes when you want a crafted, offbeat personality rather than continuous-read comfort.
The overall tone is mischievous and theatrical, with a retro display energy that feels hand-cut or crafted rather than purely mechanical. Its sharp wedges and buoyant round counters read as playful and attention-seeking, leaning toward eccentric rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, characterful display voice by combining geometric bowls with sharp, flared terminals and deliberate notching. The goal seems to be instant recognizability and a hand-carved, playful texture in titles and branding.
In the sample text, the dense black forms and pointed terminals create strong sparkle and dramatic silhouettes, especially at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same faceted terminal language, helping headings and short phrases feel cohesive even as the letterforms remain intentionally quirky.
