A compact serif with subtly flared, forked terminals and small spurs that give many stems a notched, ornamental finish. Strokes are generally even with gentle modulation, and the serifs read as sharp, wedge-like cuts rather than slabs. Curves are round but slightly pinched at joins, with occasional hooked details (notably in forms like J, Q, and the diagonal letters), creating a lively rhythm. The overall proportions feel tall and compact, with relatively narrow letters, tight interior counters, and an irregular, hand-cut texture that remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where its ornamental terminals can be appreciated—such as book covers, chapter openers, theatrical posters, fantasy or historical branding, and packaging. It can work for body copy at moderate sizes when given comfortable line spacing, but it will generally shine most in display contexts.
The font conveys an antique, storybook tone—equal parts historical and playful. Its forked terminals and spurred stems suggest medieval signage or fantasy titling, while the steady stroke weight keeps it approachable rather than severe. The result feels theatrical and characterful, with a subtle “engraved” or “inked” personality.
Likely designed to evoke an old-style, hand-influenced serif with decorative spurs and forked terminals, delivering historical flavor without heavy contrast. The design prioritizes character and atmospheric texture, aiming for a distinctive voice in titling and identity applications.
Uppercase letters lean toward display-like shapes with pronounced decorative terminals, while the lowercase maintains readability but keeps the same spur-and-hook vocabulary. Numerals echo the sharp serif cuts and include distinctive angled terminals that reinforce the old-world feel. In longer text the texture becomes pleasantly animated, so spacing and leading will strongly influence overall color.
