A serif text face with a slender, high-waisted structure and pronounced vertical emphasis. Strokes show a modest thick–thin rhythm with crisp joins and finely tapered transitions rather than heavy bracketed buildup. Serifs and terminals often split or spur into small forked shapes, and several stems carry mid-height notches or thorn-like projections that give the outlines a carved, decorative edge. Curves are relatively taut and oval forms are narrow, producing a compact page color and a lively, slightly irregular cadence in continuous text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial or book-cover typography where its spurred terminals can be appreciated. It can also serve for boutique branding and packaging that aims for a vintage, handcrafted, or arcane tone. For long passages, it will read more comfortably at moderate sizes where the fine detailing doesn’t crowd the counters.
The overall tone feels antique and literary, like a revived old-style book face with a mischievous twist. The spurred details add a faintly gothic, fairy-tale, or apothecary-label flavor while remaining restrained enough to read as refined. It conveys character and historicity more than neutrality, with a slightly uncanny elegance.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif model by injecting ornamental, forked terminals and stem spurs as a defining motif. Its narrow, vertically oriented proportions and compact lowercase suggest a focus on economical width and strong typographic presence, while the decorative cuts provide immediate recognizability in titles and identities.
In the text sample, the distinctive spurs and forked terminals become a repeating texture that is most noticeable in vertical stems and at stroke endings, creating a signature sparkle at larger sizes. The short lowercase proportions make ascenders and capitals feel prominent, which can lend headings a stately, old-world presence but also makes spacing and word shapes feel compact.
