A compact, dark serif with lively, hand-cut contours and frequent forked or spurred terminals. Strokes show subtle swelling and tapering rather than uniform modulation, with wedge-like serifs and pointed, flicked endings on many curves and diagonals. The letterforms feel slightly irregular in outline, with crisp corners and small inward notches that create a carved, woodcut-like texture. Uppercase shapes are sturdy and tall, while the lowercase maintains a clear, traditional structure with a relatively even rhythm and pronounced terminals.
Best suited to short-form, high-impact typography such as headlines, titles, posters, and cover treatments where the spurred terminals and textured contours can be appreciated. It also fits thematic branding for fantasy, historical, or gothic-adjacent projects, and can add character to packaging or signage when set at generous sizes.
The overall tone is medieval and theatrical, suggesting illuminated manuscripts, fantasy worlds, and old tavern signage. Its spiky terminals and carved texture add a touch of menace and drama, while the readable, familiar skeleton keeps it approachable for narrative or decorative use.
The design appears intended to evoke a hand-rendered, historically flavored serif with decorative spur details, balancing legibility with a deliberately rugged, carved finish. It prioritizes personality and atmosphere over neutrality, aiming to create immediate period or fantasy associations in display settings.
The font’s character comes from consistent spur details on stems and the angled, pointed finishing strokes—especially visible in letters like C, G, S, and the diagonals of K, V, W, and X. Numerals share the same chiseled, slightly asymmetric energy, reinforcing a cohesive display voice across letters and figures.
