A decorative serif with compact, sturdy letterforms and a clearly upright stance. Strokes are low-contrast and end in sharp, forked or spurred terminals that read like small cuts or notches, giving many stems a slightly chiseled silhouette. The serifs are pointed and irregular in a controlled way, with occasional mid-stem spurs and wedge-like joins that create a textured rhythm across words. Counters are generally rounded but tightened by the spurs (notably in bowls and curves), and the overall spacing feels moderately tight with lively, uneven edges that stay consistent across the set.
Best suited for display use where its ornate terminals can be appreciated—headlines, poster typography, book or chapter titles, and fantasy- or folklore-themed branding. It can work for short text blocks in larger sizes, especially for pull quotes or introductory paragraphs, but the busy edge detail will be most effective when not set too small.
The font conveys a historical, handcrafted tone—part medieval manuscript, part fantasy title card. Its spurs and angular terminals add a slightly ominous, magical flavor, while the rounded underlying forms keep it readable and approachable. Overall it feels dramatic and narrative-driven rather than neutral or corporate.
The design appears intended to evoke a carved or pen-cut serif tradition, using forked terminals and small spurs to create a distinctive, period-leaning texture while preserving a sturdy, readable skeleton. It prioritizes atmosphere and character for narrative and thematic typography.
The uppercase carries strong emblematic shapes with pronounced terminals, while the lowercase leans into quirky, ink-cut details that add movement in text. Numerals match the same carved, spurred language, helping headings and short callouts feel cohesive.
