A decorative serif with pronounced blackletter influence, built from narrow, vertical forms and sharply faceted joins. Strokes show moderate contrast with pointed terminals and wedge-like serifs that create a cut, chiseled silhouette rather than a smooth bracketed serif. Curves are kept tight and often break into angular segments, giving bowls and shoulders a carved, irregular geometry. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, producing a lively rhythm that feels hand-shaped while remaining consistently upright.
Best suited to display settings such as fantasy or historical titles, cover typography, posters, and themed packaging where texture and atmosphere are desirable. It can also work for logos or short wordmarks, but the spiky detailing and compact interiors make it less appropriate for long passages or very small sizes.
The overall tone is medieval and gothic, with an ominous, arcane flavor that reads as ceremonial and dramatic. Its sharp points and dense vertical cadence evoke fantasy, folklore, and old-world signage rather than modern editorial neutrality.
The design appears intended to channel blackletter and gothic inscriptional cues in a cleaner, more display-oriented serif construction, emphasizing pointed rhythm, carved contours, and a dramatic silhouette for themed typography.
Uppercase letters carry a strong display presence with tall verticals and aggressive terminals, while the lowercase retains blackletter-like construction with narrow counters and pointed details. Numerals follow the same cut-stroke logic, keeping the set visually cohesive in headings and short bursts of text.
