A heavy, display-oriented serif with wedge-like, flared stroke endings that create crisp triangular points at terminals and joins. The construction is largely upright with broad proportions and a dense, compact rhythm, with counters that stay relatively tight in letters like a, e, and s. Serifs read as sharp, blade-like wedges rather than brackets, and many strokes finish in small spur-like corners that give the outlines a cut, engraved feeling. Capitals are sturdy and blocky, while the lowercase keeps a robust, rounded core (notably o and g) combined with pointed details on stems and diagonals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, titles, and logo-style wordmarks where the wedge terminals and dense color can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging, labels, and book or game covers that aim for a historic, fantasy, or gothic mood, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone feels Gothic and ceremonial, evoking blackletter-adjacent signage and heraldic lettering without fully becoming a textura style. Its sharp terminals and hefty forms communicate authority and drama, with a slightly archaic, storybook character that suits titles meant to feel historic or theatrical.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display serif that blends robust, wide letterforms with flared, incised-looking endings to create a distinctive, old-world presence. Its consistent terminal vocabulary and strong silhouette suggest an emphasis on atmosphere and recognizability over extended text comfort.
At larger sizes the pointed serifs and triangular notches become a defining texture; in longer passages the dense weight and tight internal spaces can make word shapes feel dark and compact. Numerals are equally bold and stylized, matching the angular terminal language for consistent headline use.
