A dark, compact serif with sharply forked, spurred terminals and frequent triangular notches that give the outlines a carved, blade-like feel. Strokes are sturdy with moderate contrast, and many joins and endings taper into pointed wedges, creating a crisp rhythm even in heavy text. Counters are relatively tight and the lowercase is small relative to the capitals, with short ascenders/descenders contributing to a dense, blocky texture. Numerals and capitals read as sturdy display forms, while the overall set maintains consistent, ornamental terminal logic across curves and straight stems.
Best suited to display applications where its forked terminals can be appreciated: posters, title treatments, packaging, and branding for games, fantasy themes, or vintage-inspired concepts. It can work for short text blocks or pull quotes when set generously with extra tracking and comfortable line spacing.
The tone is gothic and theatrical, evoking blackletter-adjacent poster typography without fully adopting a broken script structure. Its sharp spurs and hooked endings lend a slightly ominous, storybook energy that feels historic, ceremonial, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with ornamental, spurred terminals to create a distinctive, old-world display voice. It prioritizes character and silhouette over neutrality, aiming for strong impact and a memorable texture in titles.
In longer lines the spurs and interior notches create a lively sparkle, but the dense weight and tight counters can make small sizes feel busy. The capital set is especially dominant, giving mixed-case setting a strong, headline-forward hierarchy.
