A decorative serif with heavy, sculpted strokes and pronounced wedge-like terminals. The letterforms mix broad, rounded bowls with sharp interior notches and tapered joins, creating a cut-and-carved look rather than smooth modern curves. Serifs often flare into triangular points, and many characters show faceted transitions that suggest a calligraphic tool translated into bold display shapes. Proportions are slightly irregular across the set, with compact counters and energetic curves that keep the texture lively in words.
Best suited to display settings where its carved terminals and decorative rhythm can be appreciated—titles, headers, posters, and identity work. It can also work for short passages such as pull quotes or thematic packaging copy when a vintage or fantasy-forward voice is desired.
The overall tone feels medieval and story-driven, evoking blackletter-adjacent signage, fantasy chapter headings, and old-world craft. Its sharp terminals and carved negative spaces add drama, while the rounded forms keep it approachable enough for playful or theatrical uses.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, old-world serif voice with a hand-shaped, chiseled character, prioritizing personality and atmosphere over neutrality. Its consistent wedge terminals and notched joins suggest a deliberate blend of calligraphic influence and ornamental display styling for attention-grabbing typography.
In continuous text the distinctive wedges and notches create a strong rhythm and high visual personality, especially in capitals. Numerals and several lowercase forms carry the same chiseled, flared-terminal language, making the set feel cohesive and intentionally ornamental.
