A compact serif with dark, even color and low stroke modulation. Letterforms are built from relatively straight, slightly tapered stems with frequent forked and spurred terminals, creating pointed feet and small mid-stem protrusions. Curves are tight and somewhat angular, with counters that stay open despite the dense rhythm. Serifs read as ornamented wedges rather than flat slabs, and the overall texture is lively, with distinct silhouettes from letter to letter.
Best suited to display settings where its distinctive spurs and forked serifs can be appreciated—titles, chapter heads, posters, packaging, and branding with a historic or fantasy tone. It can also work for short text blocks or pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing to preserve clarity of its intricate terminals.
The spurred, forked detailing gives the face an old-world, gothic-leaning tone that feels theatrical and slightly mischievous. It suggests folklore, medieval ephemera, or vintage display printing, bringing a dramatic bite without becoming overly heavy or blackletter.
Designed to evoke a carved or incised serif tradition with ornamental, forked terminals that heighten character and period flavor. The intent appears to be a readable display serif that delivers a gothic-tinged, vintage voice while keeping stroke contrast restrained and forms relatively compact.
The uppercase shows pronounced decorative terminals on verticals (notably on A, I, T, and H), while the lowercase keeps similarly idiosyncratic serifs and short, sharp joins. Numerals follow the same carved, wedge-ended logic, helping mixed text maintain a consistent historical flavor.
