A decorative serif with tall, compressed proportions and a lightly built, low-contrast stroke. Serifs are sharp and slightly flared, often ending in pointed, spear-like terminals that give the outlines a bristling edge. Curves are narrow and somewhat pinched, with occasional asymmetry and varied terminal treatment that creates an intentionally irregular rhythm. Overall spacing feels tight and vertical, with a slightly wavering, hand-crafted look rather than strict geometric regularity.
Best suited to display settings where its distinctive, spiked serif detailing can be appreciated—such as book covers, posters, event titles, packaging, and brand marks with an antique or gothic flavor. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with generous size and leading, but its condensed forms and busy terminals make it less ideal for dense, small-size reading.
The font reads as gothic-leaning and eccentric, with a theatrical, slightly eerie personality. Its pointed terminals and condensed stance evoke vintage display lettering and storybook titling, balancing elegance with a peculiar, offbeat edge.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif letterforms with a condensed, ornamental construction—using pointed, flared serifs and slightly irregular terminals to create a dramatic, vintage-display voice while maintaining an overall readable skeleton.
In the sample text, the narrow counters and spiky detailing remain prominent, giving words a textured silhouette. Numerals and capitals keep the same tall, restrained width and pointed finishing strokes, supporting a consistent, stylized voice across the set.
