A bold display serif with sculpted, forked terminals and mid‑stem spurs that create a jagged, ornamental silhouette. Strokes are relatively sturdy with noticeable modulation and frequent tapering into sharp points, producing crisp inside corners and lively negative spaces. Proportions are on the broad side with a steady cap presence, while the lowercase maintains a conventional x-height but gains character from exaggerated entry/exit shapes and irregular, blade-like serifs. Overall spacing reads compact and punchy, emphasizing dark texture and strong word shapes.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, book or game titles, packaging, and brand marks where its spurred detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short bursts of copy (taglines, pull quotes, menu headings) when a dark, ornamental texture is desired.
The font projects a theatrical, vintage tone—part gothic, part storybook—through its spiky detailing and heavy black presence. Its expressive terminals and carved edges give it a slightly mischievous, dramatic voice suited to attention-grabbing headlines rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif structures with aggressive, forked terminals and ornamental spurs, prioritizing personality and visual impact. It aims to deliver a cohesive decorative voice that remains legible while adding a carved, dramatic edge to letterforms.
The distinctive forked serifs and small triangular protrusions appear consistently across both uppercase and lowercase, giving the typeface a cohesive, branded look. Numerals share the same sharp, flared detailing, helping mixed text keep a uniform, decorative color.
