A compact, serifed display face with wedge-like serifs and frequent forked/spurred terminals that create sharp little beaks and notches at stroke ends. Strokes show moderate contrast and an ink-trap-like pinching in places, giving counters and joins a slightly carved, chiseled character. Curves are sturdy and somewhat squarish in their turning, while verticals stay firm; overall spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph for a lively, uneven rhythm. In text, the texture is dark and emphatic, with distinctive terminals and small internal facets that remain visible at larger sizes.
Best suited to display contexts where its spurred terminals and dark color can be appreciated—headlines, titles, book covers, posters, and branding for heritage or craft-oriented themes. It can work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, subheads) at generous sizes, but the busy detailing will read strongest when not set too small.
The tone reads historic and decorative—suggesting printed ephemera, folk or medieval revival lettering, and a slightly mischievous storybook flair. The spurs and angular terminals add a touch of drama and personality, giving headlines a heraldic, handcrafted energy rather than a quiet literary feel.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif construction with decorative, forked terminals to create a distinctive, vintage-leaning voice. Its variable letter widths and carved-looking joins suggest an aim for characterful, print-like texture over strict neutrality.
Uppercase forms feel particularly emblematic and poster-ready, while the lowercase retains the same spurred logic, producing a consistent but intentionally idiosyncratic texture. Numerals are bold and clear, matching the angular, ornamented finishing found in the letters.
