A decorative serif with compact proportions, a tall vertical emphasis, and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast with sharp joins and frequent forked or spurred details at ends and along stems, producing a pricked, slightly barbed silhouette. Bowls are narrow and controlled, counters stay relatively small, and curves often finish in pointed, sculpted tips. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with occasional quirky internal details (such as teardrop-like counters) that add character without turning into full display ornament.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, titles, and short blocks where its spurred detailing can be appreciated. It works especially well for book covers, posters, themed packaging, and editorial features that need an antique or fantastical voice, and it can handle brief text passages when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The tone feels storybook and slightly eerie—part fairytale, part antique broadside. Its spurs and pointed terminals suggest an old-world, theatrical mood, while the consistent narrowness and clean construction keep it readable enough for short passages. The result is playful yet mysterious, with a crafted, illustrative flavor.
The design appears intended to evoke historical and fantastical references through sharpened serif forms and repeated forked/spurred terminals, adding drama and personality while maintaining a disciplined vertical structure. It aims to deliver a distinctive, decorative texture that reads clearly in titles and prominent settings.
The punctuation and numerals carry the same sharp, forked finishing as the letters, helping headings and short lines feel cohesive. The lowercase is relatively straightforward in structure but gains personality from the recurring spurs and pointed terminals, which can create lively texture at larger sizes.
