A decorative serif with sharply forked, spurred terminals and tapered strokes that flare into wedge-like serifs. The letterforms keep an upright stance and a compact, condensed footprint, while stems and joins show subtle modulation that gives the black shapes a lively, hand-cut feel. Counters are generally tight and forms are slightly irregular in a controlled way, with distinctive notches and hooked finishes on many strokes. Figures follow the same pointed, flared construction, maintaining the font’s crisp, ornamental rhythm in text.
Best suited to display use where its forked terminals and decorative serifs can be appreciated—titles, chapter heads, posters, branding accents, and themed packaging. It also fits fantasy or historical settings in game UI and event materials, especially when used at sizes that preserve the sharp details.
The overall tone is whimsical and story-driven, with a medieval or fairy-tale flavor created by the spiky terminals and lively, calligraphic motion. It feels playful yet slightly mysterious—more “enchanted manuscript” than formal book typography.
The design appears intended to evoke a handcrafted, old-world serif with pronounced spurs and theatrical terminals, prioritizing character and atmosphere over neutrality. Its condensed proportions and high-visibility details suggest a focus on impactful display typography with a distinctive, themed voice.
In paragraph settings the pronounced spurs and hooked terminals become the primary texture, producing a jagged, animated color that draws attention. The narrow set and tight counters amplify the decorative character, making spacing and size choice important for clarity in longer passages.
