A compact, vertically emphasized serif with angular, wedge-like serifs and frequent forked or spurred terminals. Strokes are heavy and fairly even, with crisp joins and sharp interior corners that create a carved, chiseled feel. Counters are small and often teardrop-like, and the overall rhythm is tight with tall ascenders/descenders and narrow letterfit. Capitals feel stately and pointed, while lowercase forms retain the same spiky terminal language, giving words a textured, jagged silhouette.
Best used for display settings such as posters, packaging, titles, and cover typography where its spurred detailing can be appreciated. It works well for fantasy and gothic branding, event flyers, and signage that needs an archaic or dramatic voice. For long paragraphs, larger sizes and generous spacing will help maintain clarity.
The font reads as gothic and medieval, with a theatrical, slightly sinister edge. Its pointed terminals and carved contours suggest folklore, fantasy, and vintage horror aesthetics more than modern neutrality. The overall tone is emphatic and ceremonial, suited to creating atmosphere at a glance.
The design appears intended to evoke a carved, old-world serif—combining narrow proportions with aggressive spurs and wedge serifs to produce a distinctly gothic display texture. It prioritizes character and atmosphere over quiet readability, offering a strong silhouette for impactful titling.
The distinctive forked spurs appear on many stems and terminals, producing a lively sparkle in text but also adding visual noise at small sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same sharp, tapered detailing, helping headings and mixed-content settings feel consistent.
