A compact, serifed display face with a slightly irregular, hand-cut rhythm and prominent spurred terminals. Strokes are sturdy and mostly even, with small wedge-like serifs and occasional mid-stem notches that create a forked, ornamental finish. Curves are rounded but not perfectly geometric, and joins show subtle angularity that gives letters a carved, inked feel. Capitals carry strong vertical presence while lowercase remains relatively small, producing a lively, top-heavy texture in mixed case.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, titles, posters, and short pull quotes where its spurred details can be appreciated. It also fits packaging and branding that want a handcrafted, vintage-leaning voice. For longer text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone feels storybook and folkloric—friendly rather than formal—evoking handmade signage, fairy-tale titles, or lightly medieval flavor. Its quirky terminals and uneven cadence add charm and personality, reading as expressive and theatrical instead of neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a decorative serif voice that blends classic letterforms with hand-rendered irregularity and forked terminal detailing. Its goal seems to be character and narrative atmosphere over strict typographic neutrality.
The numerals and key capitals (notably forms like Q and G) lean into decorative quirks that can become focal points in headlines. Word shapes stay cohesive at larger sizes, but the distinctive spurs and tight internal spaces suggest it will read best when given some breathing room through size and spacing.
