A narrow serif with slender stems and clear stroke modulation, shaped by sharp, forked terminals and small mid-stem spurs that create a thorny, ornamental silhouette. Curves are compact and slightly pinched, while joins and terminals taper into pointed, hooked endings rather than flat serifs. Uppercase forms feel tall and compressed, with distinctive, characterful construction in letters like M, W, and Y, and numerals that echo the same flared, spiky finishing. Overall spacing reads tight and vertical, with an intentionally irregular, hand-drawn rhythm despite consistent underlying proportions.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as titles, headlines, posters, and cover typography where its spurred terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for themed packaging or event materials that want an antique, magical, or slightly eerie flavor, especially when paired with a calmer body text face.
The texture feels spooky-fairytale and lightly gothic, combining antique-book warmth with a mischievous, decorative edge. Its prickly terminals and narrow stance give it a theatrical tone that can read mysterious, eccentric, or Halloween-adjacent depending on context.
Likely designed to provide a distinctive decorative serif with forked, spurred endings that evoke vintage display lettering and storybook ornamentation. The narrow proportions and consistent vertical rhythm suggest an emphasis on compact, characterful headlines with strong thematic presence.
The pointed spurs and tapered endings create strong word-shape personality, but also add visual sparkle that can become busy at small sizes. In longer text, the narrow set and high-detail terminals produce a dense, dark-and-light shimmer that suits display-like settings more than continuous reading.
