A compact serif with thick, low-contrast strokes and a slightly uneven, hand-cut silhouette. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, often splitting into forked points or ending in spurs that give stems a barbed profile. Curves and bowls are somewhat angular, with subtle inward notches and flared joins that create a lively, textured rhythm. Spacing is fairly tight, and the overall color on the page is dark and emphatic, with small irregularities that read as intentional ornament rather than distortion.
Best suited to display settings where its strong texture and forked terminals can be appreciated—posters, titles, book covers, labels, and thematic signage. It can work for short blocks of text at larger sizes, but the dense color and ornamental edges are most effective in headings and punchy phrases.
The tone is theatrical and old-world, evoking letterpress-era display printing and carved signage. Its spurred terminals and jagged edges add a hint of mischief and menace, lending itself to gothic, folkloric, or Halloween-adjacent moods without becoming fully blackletter.
Likely designed to capture a handcrafted, carved or stamped aesthetic with ornamental spurs that create a distinctive silhouette. The goal appears to be strong recognizability and period flavor, prioritizing expressive terminals and a dark, compact rhythm for impactful display typography.
Capitals show pronounced ornamental shaping—especially at terminals and along verticals—while lowercase retains the same spurred vocabulary in a more economical form. Numerals match the angular, chiseled treatment, maintaining a consistent heavy presence across the set.
