This serif has an incised, flared construction with sharp, wedge-like terminals that often splay into pointed “horns” at the ends of stems and arms. Strokes stay fairly even overall, with subtle modulation and crisp joins that create a carved, chiseled impression rather than a soft, bracketed serif look. Uppercase forms feel tall and stately, while lowercase shows a lively rhythm with distinctive, sometimes angular entry/exit strokes and occasional teardrop-like endings. Numerals follow the same spurred, tapered logic, with prominent pointed terminals that keep the texture emphatic in display sizes.
Best suited for display applications where characterful serifs are an asset—book and album covers, film or game titles, posters, and themed branding. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with generous tracking and leading, but it’s most effective in headlines and other prominent text.
The overall tone is theatrical and historicizing, evoking gothic signage, fantasy titling, and storybook drama. Its spiky terminals and carved flavor add tension and mystery, giving words a ceremonial, slightly ominous presence.
The font appears designed to blend classic serif structure with a carved, ornamental edge, prioritizing atmosphere and distinctive silhouette over neutrality. The consistent pointed flares suggest an intent to deliver a dramatic, historically tinted voice for thematic typography.
The design’s personality comes from consistent, exaggerated flares and sharp apexes, which can create a busy sparkle in dense settings but read strongly when given air. The sample text shows a firm baseline and clear word shapes, though the decorative terminals draw attention and can dominate at smaller sizes or tight spacing.
