A compact, dark serif with chunky proportions and a calligraphic, cut-in look. Strokes stay fairly even in weight, with prominent bracketed serifs and frequent forked or beaked terminals that create small notches and spurs at joins. Curves are rounded and full, counters are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm is dense and steady. Capitals are broad and emphatic, while lowercase forms keep a sturdy, slightly squat silhouette with distinctive hooked details on letters like a, f, g, r, and y.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where its decorative terminals can be appreciated. It works well for book covers, posters, labels, and branding that aims for a historic, handcrafted, or gothic-leaning atmosphere, and it can support brief text blocks when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The tone feels historical and decorative, with an old-world, storybook confidence. Its spurred terminals and heavy presence evoke medieval or vintage printing without becoming overly delicate, giving it a bold, characterful voice suited to theatrical or folkloric themes.
Likely designed to deliver a robust serif with unmistakable personality—using forked terminals and mid-stem spurs to add period flavor and visual bite while keeping overall stroke weight stable and readable for display settings.
At text sizes the numerous hooks and interior notches read as intentional ornamentation rather than contrast-driven refinement, so spacing and word shapes appear lively and somewhat busy. Numerals match the weight and carry similar beaked terminals, helping headings and short lines keep a cohesive, display-oriented texture.
