A compact serif with lively, tapered strokes and distinct forked or spurred terminals that give stems a slightly carved, ornamental finish. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into pointed tips, while curves stay relatively tight, producing a crisp, narrow rhythm across words. Stroke contrast is moderate, with swelling on verticals and leaner hairlines, and the overall texture reads dark without becoming heavy. The figures and capitals echo the same sharpened, slightly irregular serif shapes, creating a consistent, hand-influenced color in text.
Well suited to display typography where its distinctive spurred terminals can be appreciated: titles, cover work, themed posters, and brand marks with a vintage or fantastical angle. It can also serve for short passages such as pull quotes or chapter openers where a textured, characterful serif is desired.
The tone feels old-world and storybook-like, balancing scholarly classicism with a playful edge. Its pointed terminals and subtle eccentricities suggest folklore, fantasy, or historic signage rather than modern minimalism.
Likely designed to evoke a historic, hand-carved or calligraphic serif tradition while adding decorative spurs and forked terminals for personality and memorability. The narrow proportions and crisp contrast support compact, attention-grabbing setting in editorial and themed design.
The glyphs show intentionally expressive terminal behavior—small hooks, beaks, and forked endings—especially noticeable on letters with vertical stems and on diagonals, which adds animation at display sizes. Spacing and proportions support compact setting while retaining clear internal counters.
