A light, serifed display face with narrow stems and a consistent, low-contrast stroke. Terminals frequently split into small forked spurs and curled hooks, creating a lively outline even on simple verticals. Curves are round and open with slightly irregular joins and a gently uneven rhythm that reads as hand-drawn rather than strictly geometric. Capitals are relatively tall and narrow with decorative crossbars and spur details, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and uses single-storey forms where expected, with prominent ascenders/descenders and occasional looped finishes. Figures follow the same language, mixing simple skeletons with quirky spur accents and playful tails.
Best suited to display typography where the ornate spurs and curled terminals can be appreciated—headlines, poster titles, book covers, themed branding, and packaging. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set large with generous tracking, but the busy terminal activity may reduce clarity in dense, small text.
The overall tone is eccentric and charming, with a slightly antique, ink-on-paper feel. Its forked terminals and curly details give it a theatrical, storybook quality that can feel magical, curious, or gently gothic depending on setting and spacing.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with playful, forked ornamentation to create an expressive, handcrafted display voice. It prioritizes character and atmosphere over strict regularity, offering a distinctive silhouette for thematic and decorative applications.
Decorative spur details appear not only at serif points but also as mid-stem notches and small hooks, which adds texture in text but can also introduce visual noise at smaller sizes. The design’s personality comes through most strongly in rounded letters and glyphs with tails, where the curls and forks become prominent.
