A narrow, oldstyle-leaning serif with lively, forked terminals and frequent mid-stem spurs that create a slightly thorny silhouette. Strokes show moderate contrast with crisp, tapered joins and small bracketed serifs that often flare into pointed or split tips. Curves are compact and somewhat pinched, giving bowls and counters a tight rhythm, while ascenders and capitals stay tall and upright. The overall texture is dark and busy in a controlled way, with decorative nicks and hooks appearing consistently across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, book covers, and packaging where its ornate terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the dense spur detail suggests avoiding long passages of small text.
The face reads as antique and characterful, evoking Victorian display typography, curiosity posters, and storybook titling. Its spurred detailing adds a playful edge—more quirky than formal—while still retaining a classic serif backbone.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif forms with conspicuous forked terminals and spur accents, prioritizing a distinctive, vintage voice while keeping the letterforms structurally familiar and upright for clear titling.
Capitals carry strong vertical emphasis and distinctive terminals that keep word shapes varied and attention-grabbing. The numerals share the same ornamental logic, with curled ends and sharp spur accents that make them feel integrated rather than neutral.
