A decorative serif with heavy, high-contrast strokes and sharply tapered, flared terminals. The letterforms feel carved and ribbon-like: thick stems are interrupted by narrow pinch points and teardrop-shaped counters, creating a consistent cutout effect through many glyphs. Serifs and terminals are often pointed or hooked, with occasional asymmetric wedges that add motion. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the texture an animated, irregular rhythm while maintaining a cohesive blackletter-adjacent silhouette.
Best suited for display settings where character and atmosphere are the goal—posters, headlines, titling, book or game covers, and branding marks that benefit from a dramatic, vintage-tinged voice. It will perform most confidently at medium to large sizes where its interior carving and sharp terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is theatrical and slightly arcane, balancing old-world gothic cues with playful, almost storybook exaggeration. Its sharp points and dark massing suggest mystery and spectacle, while the curvy internal cutouts keep it from feeling strictly traditional.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif and gothic display traditions through sculpted, inked shapes and expressive negative space. It prioritizes personality and ornament over neutrality, aiming to deliver an instantly recognizable, cinematic texture in short bursts of text.
In text, the pronounced internal cutouts and tight pinch points can visually "sparkle" at larger sizes but may fill in or become busy when reduced. The font produces a strong, ornamental word shape, with especially distinctive capitals and numerals that read more like display symbols than neutral text forms.
