A decorative serif with sharp, forked terminals and small mid-stem spurs that give the letterforms a carved, blade-like finish. Strokes show moderate contrast with crisp joins and pointed wedge details rather than soft bracketed serifs. Proportions feel compact with relatively tight internal counters, and the rhythm is lively due to frequent angular flicks on stems and diagonals. Numerals and capitals share the same spurred vocabulary, producing a consistent, slightly dramatic texture in lines of text.
Best suited for display typography such as titles, headings, and short bursts of text where the spurred details can be appreciated. It works well on book covers, game and entertainment branding, themed packaging, and posters that aim for a fantasy, historical, or handcrafted atmosphere.
The overall tone reads medieval and storybook-like, with a subtly gothic flavor and a playful edge from the repeated spurs and pointed terminals. It suggests folklore, fantasy, and old-world craft rather than modern neutrality, adding character without becoming fully blackletter.
The design appears intended to evoke an antiquated, hand-tooled sensibility by combining classic serif structure with consistent forked terminals and spur accents. Its aim is decorative readability: familiar letter skeletons enhanced with distinctive, thematic ornamentation.
Round letters feature distinctive internal shapes and pointed cut-ins that enhance the engraved look, while diagonals often end in hooked or forked tips. The texture is bold and high-impact at display sizes, and the repeated ornamental terminals create a noticeable pattern across words.
