A serif display face with lively, calligraphic construction and pronounced spurs and forked terminals. Strokes show clear modulation with tapered entries and exits, and many serifs resolve into sharp, wedge-like points rather than flat slabs. Counters are relatively tight and the overall color is dark, while the rhythm remains readable due to consistent vertical stress and sturdy main stems. Proportions vary across letters, giving the set an expressive, slightly irregular texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium passages where its spurred details can be appreciated—posters, book covers, editorial titling, branding marks, and packaging. It can work for pull quotes or lead-in text when set with generous spacing and comfortable line height to keep the dark texture from feeling crowded.
The font conveys a historic, storybook tone with a touch of gothic drama. Its pointed terminals and energetic curves feel ceremonial and traditional, leaning toward vintage signage and print ephemera rather than modern minimalism.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened ornamentation—combining readable old-style structure with decorative spurs and tapered serifs for a distinctive display presence.
Capitals are especially sculpted, with distinctive spur details that add sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same ornamental logic, pairing robust bodies with pointed terminals, which helps maintain a cohesive voice across mixed settings.
