A decorative serif with chunky, rounded bowls and sharply flared wedge serifs that often end in angled, blade-like terminals. Strokes feel hand-cut rather than purely geometric, with subtly uneven curves and a lively, slightly wavy baseline rhythm. Counters are generously open, while joins and inner corners show pointed notches that add bite and texture. Overall spacing is comfortable and the letterforms read clearly at display sizes, with consistent weight and energetic serif shapes across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, book or album covers, game titles, and packaging where its expressive serif construction can be a feature. It can work for short blocks of text in larger sizes, especially for themed or narrative settings, but its strong personality may be distracting in long-form reading.
The face conveys a mischievous, storybook tone—part medieval fair, part retro display—thanks to its exaggerated wedges and buoyant proportions. It feels informal and characterful rather than formal or literary, suggesting personality and motion even in static text.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif structures with exaggerated, wedge-like serifs and a hand-tooled texture, creating a readable yet unmistakably decorative display voice. Its consistent weight and cohesive terminal language suggest it was drawn to deliver impact and charm in branding and title work rather than to disappear into body copy.
Capitals are broad and emphatic, and the lowercase maintains strong presence with distinctive, often triangular serif cues on stems and arms. Numerals share the same chunky silhouettes and angled terminals, keeping the set cohesive for headings and short callouts.
