A compact serif with sharply flared, forked terminals and frequent mid-stem spurs that create a carved, notched silhouette. Strokes show clear contrast and a slightly calligraphic modulation, with narrow internal counters and tight apertures that emphasize a vertical, condensed rhythm. Serifs tend to be wedge-like and pointed rather than bracketed, and curves often resolve into angular tips, giving letters a crisp, chiseled finish. The overall texture is lively and irregular in detail while remaining consistent in its recurring spurs and tapering endings across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, titles, posters, and packaging where its forked terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits branding for themed venues or products—especially fantasy, Halloween, circus, or retro-inspired concepts. For long passages, it works more comfortably in short bursts (pull quotes, chapter openers) where texture and ornament are desired.
The font projects a theatrical, storybook tone—part old-world charm, part spooky-fun ornament. Its spiky terminals and animated outlines add drama and mischief, making text feel like it belongs to folktales, fantasy settings, or playful horror themes rather than neutral editorial work.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with ornamental, forked detailing to create a distinctive, theatrical voice. It aims to deliver strong visual character and atmosphere while staying legible enough for short-form reading, prioritizing mood and stylized texture over neutrality.
In extended text, the dense spacing and narrow counters create a dark color and a busy rhythm, with decorative spurs becoming more prominent as size decreases. Capitals read as tall and emphatic, while lowercase maintains a steady x-height but keeps a distinctly stylized, hand-cut character. Numerals follow the same tapered, pointed logic, reinforcing the display-oriented personality.
