A heavy, decorative serif with crisp, angular spurs and forked terminals that create a cut-paper or chiseled silhouette. Strokes are robust with moderate contrast, and many joins and ends finish in small points, notches, and triangular flares, giving the outlines a lively, slightly jagged rhythm. Proportions are generally compact and round in the bowls, while capitals feel broad and emphatic; lowercase counters stay fairly open for a display face. Figures are bold and stylized with the same spurred detailing, matching the letterforms closely.
Use it for display roles such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks where distinctive terminals can carry the personality. It also fits themed materials—festivals, fantasy or mystery titles, and seasonal promotions—where a decorative serif with a slightly spooky edge enhances the message.
The overall tone is theatrical and characterful, reading as playful yet a bit eerie—well suited to “storybook gothic” or Halloween-adjacent styling. Its spiky terminals and ornamental cuts add energy and a hand-crafted feel that leans more expressive than formal.
The design appears intended to inject personality into a traditional serif structure by adding forked, spurred terminals and carved-looking notches, producing a bold, attention-grabbing texture. It prioritizes character and silhouette over neutrality, aiming to stand out quickly in display settings.
The strong silhouette and internal cut-ins make the face most effective at larger sizes, where the spur details remain clear. In longer text, the dense weight and frequent pointed terminals create a busy texture, especially around vertical stems and rounded bowls.
