A decorative serif with sharp, flared terminals and pronounced stroke modulation that creates a carved, blade-like silhouette. Serifs are wedgey and often curl or hook outward, producing pointed corners and notched joins, especially in diagonals and at stroke endings. The letterforms feel condensed overall with tight interior spaces, while counters remain crisp due to the strong thick–thin contrast. Uppercase forms read as display-oriented and sculptural; lowercase keeps a compact rhythm with similarly spurred terminals and a narrow, vertical stance.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where its sharp flares and high contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. It works well for posters, book or album covers, themed branding, and packaging that needs a historic, fantastical, or slightly ominous display voice. For long passages, its busy terminals and tight spacing may benefit from generous size and leading.
The tone is dramatic and slightly gothic, with an old-world, theatrical flavor that suggests signage, titles, and storytelling. Its spiky flares and sharp tips give it a mysterious, ceremonial energy rather than a neutral editorial voice.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif structure with exaggerated flared terminals and dramatic contrast, prioritizing character and atmosphere over neutrality. It aims to deliver a distinctive display texture that evokes engraved or calligraphic influence in a controlled, upright framework.
Round letters (like O/C) show a pinched, tapered curvature with subtle inward tension, and several glyphs feature distinctive hooked endings that add movement. Numerals share the same contrast and flared finishing, keeping a cohesive, ornamental texture across mixed settings.
