A heavy, dark serif with flared, forked terminals and frequent spur-like protrusions that give strokes a carved, slightly ragged edge. The letterforms are upright with low stroke contrast and generally broad, rounded counters, while corners often pinch into points rather than ending in flat cuts. Serifs feel more like sculpted fins than classical brackets, producing a chiseled silhouette and uneven, hand-hewn rhythm. Lowercase forms remain robust and compact, with single-storey a and g, a pointed, diamond-like i/j tittle, and a distinctive, curling t that reads as decorative at text sizes.
Best suited to display settings where its strong color and ornate terminals can be appreciated—posters, titles, book or album covers, and themed branding. It can work for short bursts of text or pull quotes when a textured, storybook or gothic flavor is desired, but the lively edges suggest avoiding very small sizes for extended reading.
The overall tone is theatrical and slightly ominous, combining medieval/blackletter echoes with a playful, fairy‑tale roughness. Its spurs and forked endings create a lively, restless texture that feels handmade and atmospheric rather than polished or corporate.
Likely drawn to deliver a bold, high-impact serif with a deliberately handcrafted, spurred finish—evoking historical or fantasy motifs while staying legible and rounded. The design emphasizes silhouette and texture over refinement, aiming for characterful titles and decorative messaging.
Wide, rounded shapes like O and Q stay smooth and substantial, while many straight stems and joins pick up small notches or hooks that increase texture in paragraphs. Numerals are stout and expressive, with pointed terminals that match the letterforms and keep the same carved, ornamental character.
