A slender serif with sharp, forked terminals and small mid-stem spurs that give many strokes a barbed, thorn-like finish. The overall drawing is lightly built with moderate thick–thin differentiation and crisp joins, producing a clean but decorative silhouette. Curves are tight and slightly pinched, while stems often taper into pointed tips rather than flat serifs, creating an etched, high-contrast look at ends without feeling heavy. Letterforms keep a fairly traditional structure, but the repeated spurs and flicked terminals add a consistent ornamental rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display contexts where the forked terminals can be appreciated: book covers, film/game titles, posters, packaging, and boutique branding. It can work for short passages in larger sizes (pull quotes, chapter openers, short blurbs), but the spurs and pointed endings are most effective when given enough size and spacing to breathe.
The tone is gothic-leaning and theatrical, with a witchy, fairytale sensibility rather than a purely academic or bookish voice. Its spurred terminals read as dramatic and slightly sinister, evoking fantasy titles, folklore, and period-inspired display typography. The overall effect is elegant but intentionally quirky, like engraved lettering with a playful edge.
The design appears intended to merge a classic serif skeleton with distinctive forked/spurred finishing to deliver a recognizable fantasy-gothic flavor. By keeping proportions relatively restrained while repeating ornamental terminals throughout the set, it aims to stay readable at display sizes while providing a strong, themed character.
In the text sample, the frequent pointed terminals create a lively texture that becomes more pronounced as size decreases, so the decorative details dominate the color of a paragraph. The figures and capitals maintain the same forked vocabulary, helping headlines and mixed-case settings feel stylistically unified.
