A tall, slender serif with hairline strokes and an almost monolinear rhythm, built from narrow, vertical forms and compact bowls. Serifs and terminals are sharpened into small forked/spurred tips that appear at stroke ends and occasionally mid-stem, giving letters a prickly, etched edge without adding mass. Curves are restrained and slightly angular, and joins stay crisp; counters remain open despite the thin construction. Uppercase proportions are elongated and stately, while the lowercase keeps a modest x-height with long ascenders and descenders that reinforce a vertical texture in text.
Best suited to display contexts such as book covers, posters, and evocative headlines where the spurred terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for branding marks and invitations that want a historical or mysterious flavor, while longer body copy may benefit from larger sizes and generous spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels antique and slightly occult, like lettering cut into metal or printed in an old chapbook. Its fine lines and spurred terminals add a ceremonial, spellbook-like character that reads as refined but intentionally eccentric.
The design appears intended to evoke an engraved or antiquarian model through extremely fine strokes and distinctive forked terminals, prioritizing atmosphere and vertical elegance over neutral readability.
In running text the font creates a light, airy color with strong vertical cadence; the distinctive forked tips become most noticeable at larger sizes and in titles. Numerals and capitals maintain the same narrow, linear construction, supporting consistent display styling across headings and short passages.
