A decorative serif with tall, compact proportions and a distinctly chiseled, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are mostly straight and vertical with medium contrast, while terminals flare into sharp, triangular wedge serifs that create an uneven, slightly jagged rhythm along stems and curves. Curved letters (like C, O, S) show faceted contouring rather than smooth geometry, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) read crisp and narrow. The lowercase keeps a relatively traditional structure but adds character through pointed joins, narrow apertures, and occasional hooked or tapered terminals; numerals follow the same carved, angular logic.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, book or chapter titles, and entertainment branding where its carved, medieval flavor can be a focal point. It can work in short text passages for themed material, but the aggressive terminals and textured rhythm are most effective when given room to breathe.
The overall tone feels gothic and story-driven—suggesting medieval manuscripts, fantasy titles, or theatrical signage. Its spiky serifs and faceted curves add tension and drama, giving text a slightly ominous, ceremonial presence even at modest sizes.
The design appears intended to evoke a carved or pen-cut serif tradition—prioritizing atmosphere and historical/fantasy association over neutrality. Its narrow, upright stance and wedge-like detailing aim to deliver strong verticality and a distinctive, ornamental color in titles and branding.
Spacing and letterfit appear tight and columnar, reinforcing a vertical, architectural color on the page. The ampersand and punctuation match the same sharp, wedge-terminal language, helping long lines of text maintain a consistent, intentionally rough-hewn texture.
