A spurred serif with wedge-like, forked terminals and subtly flared strokes that evoke an incised, hand-cut feel. The letterforms show lively irregularity in widths and curves, with tapered joins and occasional mid-stem nicks/spurs that add texture without becoming distressed. Counters are generally open and round, while verticals and diagonals end in sharp, angled serifs that create a rhythmic, slightly jagged silhouette. Numerals and capitals carry the same chiseled detailing, producing a cohesive, decorative texture across the set.
Best suited to display settings where its spur details can be appreciated: book covers, chapter openers, posters, game or fantasy-themed branding, and character-led packaging. It can work for short paragraphs in larger sizes (as shown in the sample), but the energetic terminals and uneven rhythm make it most effective for headings, pull quotes, and ornamental text.
The overall tone feels storybook and old-world, with a playful, slightly mischievous edge. Its sharp serifs and spur details suggest medieval or fantasy cues, while the bouncy proportions keep it approachable rather than formal. The result reads as characterful and theatrical, more illustrative than sober.
Designed to deliver a distinctive, ornamental serif voice with carved, forked terminals that instantly signal a historical or fantastical atmosphere. The intent appears to balance legibility with decorative personality, creating a recognizable texture in both caps and lowercase for expressive typography.
Spacing and silhouettes create a lively cadence: capitals feel emblematic and display-forward, while lowercase maintains legibility but retains prominent terminal quirks. The spurs are consistent enough to read as a deliberate stylistic motif, giving text a distinct “carved” sparkle at larger sizes.
