A heavy, display-minded serif with broad proportions and low stroke modulation, built from strong verticals and rounded bowls. Serifs are sharply forked and spurred, often forming horn-like points on caps and distinct bracketed wedges on lowercase, creating a chiseled, ornamental edge. The drawing favors chunky joins, open apertures, and noticeably sculpted terminals—especially on letters like C, G, S, and r—giving the forms a carved, emblematic feel. Numerals match the weight and carry the same pointed, flared details, maintaining a consistent rhythm across the set.
This face is well suited to headlines, poster titling, and short display lines where its forked serifs and sculpted terminals can carry the design. It can also work for logotypes, packaging, and book or game covers that want a vintage, story-driven mood, especially when set with generous spacing and simple supporting typography.
The overall tone reads theatrical and nostalgic, with a mischievous, fairy-tale energy. Its spurred serifs and chunky curves evoke vintage signage and classic fantasy or adventure titling rather than neutral text typography.
The design appears intended as an attention-grabbing display serif that mixes robust, readable skeletons with ornamental spurs and flared endings. Its goal is to deliver a distinctive, carved silhouette for expressive titles and branding rather than quiet, extended reading.
The texture is dark and emphatic, with distinctive silhouette-driven details that become part of the letter recognition. In longer lines, the ornamental spurs create a lively, slightly busy surface, making it best suited to larger sizes where the carved terminals can be appreciated.
