This serif displays sharp, flared terminals and wedge-like serifs with pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads as inked and slightly calligraphic. Strokes often taper into pointed ends, and several curves show a subtly chiseled, irregular edge that gives the outlines a hand-cut feel while remaining consistent in rhythm. Capitals are tall and dramatic with narrow bowls and steep joins; lowercase forms are compact with a relatively low x-height and tight apertures, contributing to a crisp, vertical texture in text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, tapered logic, with distinctive pointed finishes and lively internal shapes.
Best suited to display settings such as book covers, film or event posters, headlines, and branding where a dramatic, old-world voice is desired. It can work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, chapter openings, labels) when set with generous size and spacing to let the sharp terminals and contrast read clearly.
The overall tone feels theatrical and story-driven—part medieval display, part fairy-tale poster—balancing elegance with a slightly eerie, whimsical bite. Its spiky terminals and ink-like contrast evoke old printing, fantasy titles, and classic gothic cues without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, decorative serif with a hand-inked, theatrical flavor—combining classical serif structure with pointed, expressive terminals for immediate personality in titles and branding.
In the text sample, the font maintains strong vertical momentum and a dark, patterned color, with characterful capitals that stand out for titling. The pointy terminals and tight counters can create a busy texture at smaller sizes, while larger sizes highlight the crisp serifs and dramatic modulation.
