This serif features sharp, flared wedge serifs and beak-like terminals that create a distinctly spiky silhouette. Strokes show moderate contrast, with crisp joins and slightly calligraphic modulation that feels cut rather than brushed. Many letters incorporate pointed spur details and subtly splayed stems, while rounds remain firm and controlled, producing a lively, slightly irregular rhythm. The overall proportions lean generous in width, with compact counters and assertive serif feet that keep the texture dark and decorative in text.
Best suited to display settings where its sharp serif detailing can remain clear—titles, chapter heads, posters, and branding that benefits from a gothic or folkloric voice. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes at larger sizes where the lively texture becomes an asset rather than a distraction.
The tone reads gothic and storybook-like, mixing medieval cues with a playful, slightly mischievous edge. Its pointed terminals and carved shapes suggest fantasy themes, old-world signage, and dramatic titling rather than neutral, contemporary body text.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif construction with exaggerated wedge serifs and pointed spur terminals to achieve a decorative, carved, old-world effect. Its consistent angular detailing and energetic rhythm prioritize character and atmosphere for display typography.
In running text the distinctive spurs and sharp serifs create strong word-shape character, but they also add visual noise at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals carry especially prominent wedges and angled details, giving headings an emphatic, carved-in-stone presence.
