An upright serif design with sculpted, forked terminals and sharp wedge-like spurs that appear on both serifs and interior joins. Strokes stay relatively even in thickness, with a carved, chiseled look created by pointed ends, notched intersections, and occasional mid-stem projections. The capitals are tall and assertive with compact counters, while the lowercase is sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, with distinctive, angular finishes on letters like a, r, s, and t. Numerals follow the same treatment, using crisp, tapered ends and ornamental corners that keep the set visually consistent across letters and figures.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, chapter titles, fantasy or historical branding, and book covers where the forked terminals and spurred details can remain clear. It can also work for short pull quotes or labeled packaging, but the ornamentation is most effective at medium-to-large sizes rather than dense body text.
The overall tone is dramatic and old-world, evoking medieval signage, fantasy titles, and gothic-inflected display typography. Its sharp spurs and forked endings add a theatrical, slightly sinister energy while still reading as a coherent serif text voice at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif forms with a carved, ornamental terminal system—adding forked points and spurs to create an antique, gothic-flavored voice while preserving straightforward upright construction for readability in display use.
The spacing and rhythm in the sample text suggest it’s designed to create a lively texture: pointed terminals interrupt smooth curves and introduce a flickering, decorative cadence across words. The distinctive spur motifs repeat throughout the alphabet, giving headings a branded, emblematic character even in mixed-case setting.
