A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered strokes, pointed terminals, and small wedge-like serifs that often feel flared rather than bracketed. Many forms show angular joins and knife-edged diagonals, with occasional decorative notches and incised-looking interior cuts that evoke an engraved or pen-drawn construction. Capitals are compact and sculptural, while the lowercase maintains a readable rhythm but with distinctive, slightly calligraphic modulation and spiky finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same chiseled contrast and pointed detailing, keeping a consistent, ornamental texture.
Works best for display-driven typography such as book titles, chapter openers, posters, and branded headlines where its sharp, historical character can be appreciated. It can also support short editorial passages or pull quotes when a period or gothic atmosphere is desired, though the finer interior cuts and spiky terminals will benefit from adequate size and spacing.
The overall tone is gothic and antique, suggesting old-world print, folklore, or ceremonial text. Its sharp detailing and dramatic contrast create a slightly ominous, theatrical voice while still reading as a traditional serif in paragraph settings. The effect feels literary and historical—more storybook or arcane than neutral or modern.
Likely intended to blend conventional serif structure with gothic/calligraphic ornament, delivering a historically flavored voice suitable for dramatic, literary, or fantasy-leaning design. The engraved-like details and pointed terminals appear designed to add character and texture without fully abandoning traditional serif readability.
Texture is lively and irregular in a controlled way: some strokes include thin hairline slashes and small cut-in counters that add sparkle at display sizes. The distinctive capital shapes and the pronounced, pointed terminals give headings a strong personality, while longer text retains a dark, patterned color due to the narrow joins and frequent sharp features.
