This serif features narrow proportions and a lively, calligraphic construction with medium contrast between thick and thin strokes. Serifs are flared and frequently forked or spurred, with small mid-stem notches and pointed terminals that give many letters a carved, slightly barbed silhouette. Curves are taut and somewhat vertical, while joins and shoulders often pinch into sharp cusps rather than smooth rounds, creating a crisp rhythm in text. Counters stay fairly open despite the ornament, and spacing appears moderately tight, reinforcing a compact, column-friendly texture.
Well-suited for display and short-to-medium text where character is a priority: book and chapter titles, fantasy or historical cover design, posters, and editorial headings. It can also support distinctive branding or packaging where an antiquarian voice is desired, especially when set with generous leading to let the spurs and terminals breathe.
The overall tone feels storybook and gothic-adjacent, with a whimsical edge—like hand-inked titling adapted into a consistent text style. Its pointed spurs and tapered strokes suggest folklore, fantasy, and historical atmospheres more than modern neutrality.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with ornamental, forked/spurred terminals to create a historically flavored, illustrative voice. It aims to deliver a compact, readable rhythm while retaining enough quirky detailing to stand out in titles and themed editorial work.
Distinctive details show up consistently across capitals, lowercase, and numerals: small spur-like flicks on stems, curled or hooked terminals on some bowls, and a generally angular handling of diagonals. The numerals echo the same flared, slightly calligraphic treatment, helping headings and display settings feel cohesive with body-sized text.
