A decorative serif with sharp, forked terminals and small mid-stem spurs that give the outlines a carved, blade-like finish. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness, with only modest modulation, while corners and joins are often tightened into crisp angles. The shapes keep a compact, upright posture with short serifs that flare into pointed tips, producing an irregular, lively edge without becoming overly distressed. Overall spacing reads moderate, with glyphs that feel slightly idiosyncratic but consistently constructed across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display settings where the ornamentation can read clearly: fantasy and historical posters, book covers, game UI headings, pub or event signage, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short pull quotes or chapter titles, but the busy terminals make it less ideal for long, small-size reading.
The font conveys a medieval, storybook tone—dramatic and slightly mischievous rather than solemn. Its spurred terminals and pointed serifs suggest fantasy and folklore signage, evoking hand-cut lettering and theatrical titling.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediately recognizable fantasy/medieval flavor through forked terminals and spurred details, while keeping stroke weight steady enough for bold, high-contrast reproduction. It balances legibility with decorative bite, aiming for characterful titles and branding rather than neutral text setting.
Round letters (like O/C/G) retain smooth interior counters, but their outer contours are animated by small hooks and notches. Several lowercase forms lean toward a texty, oldstyle feel (notably the single-storey a and the compact, spurred r), while the numerals maintain the same crisp, ornamental finishing.
