A compact, tightly set serif with prominent forked/spurred terminals and flared strokes that widen and pinch in a slightly irregular, inked manner. The letterforms are tall and narrow with compact bowls and narrow apertures, while the serifs behave more like sharp wedges and hooks than flat feet. Curves and joins show subtle asymmetry and occasional notch-like cut-ins, giving the outlines a lively, hand-tooled feel. Numerals follow the same narrow, heavy rhythm, with distinctive pointed terminals and small interior counters.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, headlines, and short titling where its forked terminals and flared serifs can provide instant personality. It also fits branding applications like logotypes and packaging for vintage, theatrical, or spooky themes, as well as book covers and chapter titles that benefit from a strong period flavor.
The overall tone is theatrical and old-world, evoking Victorian display printing, apothecary labels, and sideshow posters. Its spiky terminals and inky modulation add a slightly eerie, mischievous edge that reads as gothic-adjacent without becoming fully blackletter. The texture feels crafted and a bit weathered, lending warmth and character to short, attention-grabbing text.
The font appears designed to deliver a narrow, high-impact display voice while emphasizing ornamental spurs and forked terminals for a distinctive printed-character look. Its controlled consistency paired with slight irregularities suggests an intention to balance readability with a crafted, historicized texture.
The design maintains consistent narrow proportions across caps, lowercase, and figures, but the stroke endings vary just enough to create a deliberately uneven sparkle. Dense color and tight counters suggest it will appear strongest at larger sizes where the terminal details can be appreciated.
