A spurred serif with lively, tapered strokes and frequent forked, flame-like terminals. The serifs are sharp and expressive rather than bracketed, giving many letters pointed hooks at stroke ends and occasional mid-stem spurs. Curves are slightly irregular and asymmetric, with a hand-cut feel; bowls and counters stay fairly open while joins and terminals add visual bite. Proportions read as classic and text-capable, but the silhouette varies from glyph to glyph in a deliberately animated way, especially in diagonals and curved letters.
This face suits titles, chapter heads, and display lines where an antique or fantastical flavor is desired, as well as branding for games, pubs, events, and themed products. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when you want a distinctive texture, but it is most effective where its spurred terminals can be appreciated at moderate to larger sizes.
The overall tone feels medieval and storybook-like, with a theatrical, handcrafted character that suggests parchment, signage, and fantasy settings. Its spiky terminals and swashed details add drama and mischief, making text feel more narrative and decorative than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to evoke historical and hand-rendered letterforms through sharp, forked terminals and gently irregular curves, balancing recognizable serif construction with ornamental bite. It aims to deliver strong atmosphere and period character without abandoning legibility in standard Latin text settings.
In the sample text, the texture is energetic and slightly jagged, producing a dark, lively rhythm. Uppercase forms carry strong display presence, while the lowercase keeps the same spur-and-hook vocabulary for cohesive paragraphs. Numerals echo the pointed terminals and retain clear differentiation, keeping the set consistent in tone.
