A condensed serif with tall proportions, low stroke contrast, and a crisp, upright stance. Stems read strong and even, while terminals frequently finish in small forked spurs and flared wedges that create a prickly, decorative edge. Serifs are sharp and compact rather than broad, and curves stay relatively tight, giving the face a narrow, vertical rhythm. Overall spacing appears measured and consistent, with the ornament concentrated at stroke endings rather than in heavy modulation.
Best suited to headlines, short passages, and titling where the spurred terminals can contribute character without overwhelming legibility. It works well for book covers, posters, editorial display, packaging, and branding systems aiming for a vintage or gothic flavor.
The pointed spurs and lean silhouette lend a gothic, storybook tone that feels both historic and theatrical. It suggests a slightly ominous, old-world mood—more “spellbook” and “poster title” than everyday text—while staying clear enough to remain readable at display sizes.
Likely designed to deliver a condensed, space-efficient display serif with distinctive forked spurs and sharp serifs for immediate personality. The intent appears to balance readability with ornament by keeping contrast low and structure straightforward while using terminals to provide the signature look.
Uppercase forms have a pronounced vertical emphasis and a slightly calligraphic tension at joins and terminals. Numerals share the same narrow stance and spurred finishing, helping headings and short lines keep a cohesive texture. The decorative terminals add sparkle, but they also create a busy edge that can become prominent in long passages or at small sizes.
