A decorative serif with heavy, sculpted strokes and strongly flared, wedge-like terminals. The contours mix rounded bowls with sharp, angular notches, creating a carved, chiseled feel rather than a smooth text-serif rhythm. Serifs are short and pointed, often resolving into horn-like tips, and counters tend to be compact, giving letters a dense, inky silhouette. Lowercase forms show pronounced idiosyncrasies (notably in a, g, j, and k), and the numerals carry the same sharpened terminals and irregular, hand-cut energy.
Best suited to display settings where its carved, medieval character can be a feature—titles, headers, posters, game or RPG branding, book covers, chapter openers, and themed packaging. It can work for short passages in larger sizes, but it’s most effective when used sparingly as a voice-setting accent rather than as long-form body text.
The overall tone evokes medieval and folkloric lettering—dramatic, slightly ominous, and theatrical. It reads like a display face for fantasy settings, old tales, or “blackletter-adjacent” atmospheres without being strict blackletter. The spiky terminals and carved modulation add tension and character, suggesting mystery and ritual rather than everyday neutrality.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a stylized, antiquated voice through wedge serifs, sharp spur-like terminals, and a deliberately hand-cut texture. The intent is likely to provide instant genre signaling—fantasy, folklore, or gothic drama—while remaining more legible than strict historical blackletter forms.
The design’s rhythm is intentionally uneven, with visible stylistic quirks across glyphs that create personality but reduce uniformity at smaller sizes. In the sample text, the dense color and jagged terminals can crowd word shapes, so spacing and size become important for maintaining clarity.
