A decorative serif with compact proportions, moderate stroke modulation, and lively, spurred terminals. Serifs are sharp and forked, often forming small wedge-like points that create a notched silhouette at stroke ends and occasional mid-stem spurs. Curves are slightly pinched and tapered, with crisp joins and a hand-cut, calligraphic rhythm that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. The overall texture is dark and energetic, with distinctive, angular finishing details that remain legible in text while clearly reading as display-oriented.
Best suited to display applications where its spurred terminals and sharp serifs can be appreciated: book and chapter titles, posters, fantasy or historical branding, labels and packaging, and event or festival graphics. It can work for short text passages at comfortable sizes, but benefits from slightly generous spacing to prevent terminal details from crowding.
The letterforms evoke a medieval and folkloric tone, mixing gothic sharpness with a playful, storybook edge. The pointed terminals and irregular, blade-like finishing strokes give it a handcrafted, slightly mysterious character suited to dramatic or fantastical themes without becoming fully blackletter.
The design appears intended to modernize historic serif and gothic cues into a readable decorative face, emphasizing forked terminals and sharp finishing strokes to create a distinctive, themed texture. It aims for strong character and period flavor while retaining conventional letter structures for straightforward setting.
Capitals carry strong vertical presence with decorative spur accents, while the lowercase maintains readable forms with consistent terminal treatment. Numerals match the same spurred, tapered language, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive. In longer samples, the busy terminals add visual sparkle but can build density at small sizes or tight tracking.
