A wiry serif with tall proportions and a lively, slightly uneven rhythm. Strokes are relatively thin with clear contrast and frequent tapering into sharp, forked or spurred terminals, giving many letters a pronged, calligraphic finish. Serifs read as flared and pointed rather than blocky, and curves often narrow into delicate hooks at joins and ends. Overall spacing feels airy, with narrow letterforms and occasional eccentric details that keep the texture animated in running text.
Best suited to display sizes where the forked terminals and tapered serifs can be appreciated—headlines, posters, titles, and short bursts of copy. It can work for themed branding such as fantasy, vintage curios, seasonal or theatrical promotions, and illustrative packaging, while extended body text may feel busy due to the lively detailing.
The design projects a mischievous, storybook tone—part antique display serif, part hand-inked curiosity. Its spiky terminals and playful irregularities can also lean gothic or Halloween-adjacent, adding a lightly eerie, theatrical flavor without becoming fully blackletter.
The font appears designed to evoke an antique, hand-rendered serif with ornamental, forked endings and a narrow, vertical stance. Its intent seems to prioritize personality and silhouette—creating a distinctive, slightly eerie or whimsical voice—over strict uniformity and neutrality.
In text, the long ascenders/descenders and frequent spurs create a pronounced vertical cadence and a distinctive silhouette line to line. The numerals share the same tapered, hooked finishing, helping mixed text keep a consistent voice.
