A decorative serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and pronounced tapering that gives many strokes a chiseled, beaked finish. Curves are round and full, while joins and ends often sharpen into small points, creating a lively silhouette without becoming blackletter. Serifs are triangular and splayed rather than bracketed, and several letters show asymmetric spur-like details (notably in diagonals and bowls), adding a slightly irregular, hand-carved rhythm. Uppercase forms read broad and monumental; lowercase maintains a compact, sturdy texture with distinctive pointed ascenders and angled feet.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, book and game titles, posters, and branding where a vintage or fantasy-leaning identity is desired. It can work for short passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, but the ornamented terminals make it less ideal for dense, small-size text blocks.
The overall tone feels old-world and illustrative—evoking medieval signage, fantasy titles, and folkloric printwork. Its sharp terminals and ornamented endings add drama and personality, giving text a theatrical, storybook presence rather than a neutral editorial voice.
Likely designed to provide a distinctive, period-flavored serif with carved-looking terminals and a confident, title-ready presence. The consistent use of wedge serifs and spur-like accents suggests an intention to blend readability with decorative character for thematic and illustrative applications.
The numerals and punctuation share the same flared, angular finishing, helping the set feel cohesive in display settings. In running text, the frequent pointed terminals and spur details create a busy texture that favors larger sizes where the decorative cuts remain clear.
