A heavy, display-oriented serif with blackletter-adjacent construction and pronounced forked/spurred terminals. Strokes are thick and compact with minimal contrast, and many joins resolve into sharp, faceted corners rather than smooth curves. Serifs read as pointed wedges and small barbs, creating a chiseled silhouette and a lively, uneven rhythm across words. Uppercase forms are blocky and commanding, while lowercase keeps a sturdy, upright stance with compact counters and distinct, angular entry/exit strokes; figures match the same stout, carved character.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display settings where its spurred terminals and carved texture can be appreciated—posters, mastheads, title cards, packaging, and identity work that aims for a historic or ceremonial feel. It can also work for event collateral (festivals, fairs, themed nights) and album/merch typography where a bold, Gothic voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and ceremonial, evoking Gothic signage, old-world print, and heraldic formality. Its sharp terminals and dense weight give it a stern, dramatic presence that feels historic, authoritative, and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, old-style display voice by combining sturdy serif skeletons with forked, ornamental terminals and angular detailing. The aim is impact and character over neutrality, producing a dense, emblematic word shape that reads as traditional and dramatic.
The font relies on distinctive terminal shapes and internal notches to separate letters at display sizes; in longer text the dense texture can feel intense, so generous spacing and larger sizes help maintain clarity. Round letters (like O and o) keep a strong interior shape that reinforces the engraved, emblematic look.
