A decorative serif with slender stems and gently modulated stroke contrast, marked by irregular, slightly jagged serif terminals that flare into small wedge- and spur-like shapes. Curves are open and round, while joins and terminals show a hand-hewn, inked texture that breaks the otherwise smooth outlines. Proportions are spacious with generous counters; lowercase forms sit on a relatively tall x-height, and capitals feel open and lightly constructed. Numerals and letters share consistent spur details, giving the set a cohesive, ornamental rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where the distinctive terminals can be appreciated—titles, chapter heads, pull quotes, posters, labels, and packaging with a crafted or old-world mood. It can work for short passages when set with ample size and relaxed spacing, but its textured details make it more compelling for headings than dense body copy.
The overall tone feels folkloric and storybook-like, with a playful edge created by the thorny, inked terminals. It reads as vintage and slightly mischievous rather than formal, suggesting handmade printing or fantasy ephemera.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with an intentionally irregular, ornamented finish, evoking antique or handmade letterpress flavor while remaining readable. The consistent spur motif suggests a deliberate decorative system applied across the alphabet to create a recognizable voice.
The spurred terminals are most noticeable on verticals and at the ends of horizontal strokes, creating a lively baseline and cap-line texture. In paragraph text the texture becomes a soft “sparkle” along edges, so the font’s character is conveyed even at moderate sizes.
