A decorative serif with pronounced forked/spurred terminals and flared stroke endings that create a carved, chiseled silhouette. Strokes are robust with modest contrast, and many joins and curves resolve into sharp points rather than smooth rounding, giving the outlines a slightly rugged, inky texture. Proportions are compact and vertically oriented, with tight interior counters in letters like A, B, P, and R, and an irregular, hand-cut rhythm across the alphabet. Numerals and lowercase follow the same spurred logic, keeping the set visually consistent in both display lines and longer samples.
Best suited to display contexts such as posters, book covers, game or film titling, themed packaging, and signage where the spurred details can read clearly. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing, but it will be most effective as a headline face or for branding in historical, fantasy, or seasonal themes.
The overall tone feels gothic and storybook-like, with a medieval poster sensibility and a lightly ominous, theatrical edge. Its sharp spurs and tapered ends evoke woodcut or blackletter-adjacent signage without becoming fully calligraphic, producing a vintage, folklore atmosphere.
The font appears designed to deliver immediate period flavor through forked terminals and flared serifs, balancing legibility with ornament. Its consistent use of spurs and pointed endings suggests an intention to mimic carved or inked letterforms for dramatic, characterful display typography.
The design relies on repeated mid-stem spurs and pointed terminals as its primary motif, which boosts character at larger sizes but can add visual noise in dense text. Curves often terminate in teardrop-like points, and several forms show intentionally uneven contour energy that reads as handcrafted rather than strictly geometric.
