A decorative serif with spurred, forked terminals and flared stroke endings that create a lively, jagged silhouette. Strokes show moderate contrast with a slightly calligraphic, hand-cut feel, and curves often pinch into pointed joins rather than smooth bowls. Proportions are compact and texty overall, with small lowercase bodies and tall ascenders/descenders that give lines an animated rhythm. The caps are narrow and irregularly tensioned, and the figures follow the same sharp, tapered construction with noticeable quirks in curvature and terminal shaping.
Best suited to display applications where its ornate terminals and angular modulation can be appreciated—titles, packaging, posters, and themed branding for fantasy, gothic, or seasonal concepts. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines or pull quotes), but the busy detailing and compact lowercase make extended reading less comfortable at small sizes.
The overall tone reads as gothic and storybook—antique, slightly mischievous, and theatrically dramatic. Its sharp hooks and spurs evoke medieval lettering and vintage fantasy ephemera, leaning spooky without becoming fully blackletter.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinct medieval-fantasy voice through forked serifs, spurred stems, and sharpened joins, creating an intentionally handcrafted, theatrical texture rather than a neutral reading face.
Texture in paragraph settings is intentionally uneven, with frequent pointed terminals and occasional mid-stem notches that add sparkle and bite at display sizes. The italic is not implied; the stance remains straight while the forms supply the expressiveness through terminals and internal contours.
