A decorative serif with sharply cut, flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that read as incised or chiseled rather than smoothly bracketed. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness, but corners and joins are aggressively angled, producing faceted bowls and squared-off curves (notably in letters like C, S, and G). Counters are compact and geometric, with frequent straight segments where a conventional serif would be round. The lowercase features a sturdy, upright build with a moderate x-height and distinctive, stylized forms—especially the s, t, and y—while the numerals follow the same angular, carved rhythm.
Well suited to display applications where an antique or fantastical voice is desired, such as game titles, chapter headings, book covers, posters, and identity work for themed venues or events. It performs best in short to medium strings where its angular detailing can be appreciated, and where a strong, emblematic wordmark-like presence is an asset.
The overall tone feels archaic and ceremonial, evoking medieval inscriptions, fantasy world-building, and heraldic display. Its sharp terminals and disciplined symmetry create a stern, authoritative mood with a hint of occult or mystical theatrics.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif construction through an inscriptional, carved aesthetic—prioritizing a distinctive historical/fantasy flavor and bold silhouette over conventional text readability.
In the text sample the strong horizontal emphasis from the top and bottom terminals creates a banded rhythm across lines, which can look striking in headlines but may feel busy at smaller sizes. The design’s consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures supports cohesive titling systems, but the stylization makes it more of a display face than a neutral text workhorse.
