A decorative serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp hairlines, built on largely vertical stress. Serifs are sharp and tapered rather than blocky, and many strokes terminate in pointed or triangular accents. The design mixes classical uppercase proportions with highly stylized details: spurred joins, occasional wedge-like crossbars, and distinctive interior cut-ins (including diamond-like counters in rounded letters). Lowercase forms lean toward calligraphic, looped constructions, with curled terminals and occasional descender flourishes that create a lively, irregular rhythm in text.
Best suited to display settings such as titles, headlines, and short text where its ornamentation can be appreciated. It can work well for themed packaging, posters, and editorial feature headings, particularly in fantasy, folklore, or gothic-leaning concepts. For longer passages, larger sizes and comfortable tracking help preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels theatrical and fantastical—more enchanted manuscript than sober book face. Its angular spikes and ornamental counters add a slightly gothic, magical flavor, while the looping lowercase introduces a playful, quirky charm.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a high-contrast serif through a distinctly ornamental, story-driven lens—combining classical structure with decorative cut-ins, pointed serifs, and calligraphic lowercase flourishes to create a memorable, characterful voice.
In continuous text the ornamented counters and sharp interior notches become prominent visual motifs, especially in round letters. The mix of very fine hairlines and decorative terminals suggests it will read best when given enough size and spacing to let details resolve cleanly.
