A compact, display serif with pronounced wedge-like spurs and forked terminals that give strokes a chiseled, faceted finish. The design shows strong thick–thin modulation with hefty verticals and tightly pinched joins, creating crisp internal corners and small counters. Serifs are short but emphatic, often appearing as pointed horns at stroke ends, and curves (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the numerals) are robust and slightly squared by the angular finishing. Proportions are moderately wide overall, with sturdy capitals and a lowercase that keeps a steady x-height while relying on sharp terminals and deep notches for texture.
Best suited for short, prominent settings such as posters, titles, mastheads, and branding where its spurred terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for thematic packaging, labels, and event graphics that call for a historic or fantasy-leaning voice, while long passages may feel visually busy due to the dense ornamental rhythm.
The font conveys a medieval and gothic tone—ceremonial, forceful, and a bit theatrical. Its spurred endings and high-contrast rhythm suggest old-world craftsmanship, evoking heraldic, fantasy, or historical associations rather than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with blackletter-adjacent ornamentation, using forked terminals and sharp wedges to create an emphatic, period-flavored display texture. Its heavy presence and crisp finishing prioritize character and impact over quiet, continuous reading.
In text, the frequent pointed terminals create a lively, jagged rhythm that reads as decorative texture. The lowercase shows especially distinctive pointed ends and notched joins (e.g., in r, s, t, and v/w), while figures are bold and stylized, matching the angular serif language for cohesive display use.
