A heavy serif with compact proportions and broad, confident strokes. Serifs are strongly shaped and often bracketed, with distinctive forked and flared terminals that create pointed notches and small mid‑stem spurs. Curves are full and rounded, while joins and terminals show chiseled, slightly incised shaping that gives the letters a carved, ornamental texture. The lowercase is sturdy and open with a clear two-storey “a” and single-storey “g”, and the numerals are robust with similarly decorative finishing.
Best suited to display sizes where the forked terminals and spurs can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging, and book covers. It can also work for short text passages or pull quotes when a strong vintage voice is desired, but the ornamental finishing may feel busy at small sizes or in dense UI settings.
The overall tone feels vintage and hand-crafted, with a spirited, slightly old-world personality. Its ornamental terminals add a theatrical, storybook flavor that reads as warm and characterful rather than formal or clinical.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing serif with a carved, decorative edge—combining traditional letterform structure with distinctive spurred terminals to create an immediately recognizable display texture.
The design’s signature is the repeated forked/spurred detailing at stroke endings and occasional mid-height protrusions, which creates a lively rhythm in text. This ornamentation is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving headings a cohesive, distinctive texture.
