A bold, incised serif with flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that broaden into sharp, sculpted endings. The strokes show a carved, calligraphic influence: verticals feel weighty while joins and terminals taper into points, creating a lively, chiseled rhythm. Counters are moderately open, curves are sturdy and slightly angularized, and the overall color on the page is dark and emphatic. Lowercase forms lean traditional with compact proportions and a relatively small x-height, while caps are broad-shouldered and strongly modeled; numerals follow the same carved, display-oriented construction with prominent top and bottom shaping.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, titling, posters, and book covers where the flared, carved details can be appreciated. It can also work for logos and branding that aim for a heritage or mythical tone, while long body text may feel heavy and stylistically insistent.
The tone is old-world and theatrical, evoking engraved signage, book titling, and historical or fantasy-adjacent storytelling. Its sharp flares and high-impact silhouettes create a confident, slightly ominous drama that reads as ceremonial and authoritative rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif structure with an engraved, flared-stroke finish, prioritizing distinctive silhouettes and a historic, carved impression. It emphasizes character and atmosphere over neutrality, making it a strong choice for expressive typography.
Pointed terminals and deep notches give many letters a distinctive, spurred silhouette that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. The rhythm is intentionally irregular in a hand-cut way, with strong emphasis on entry/exit strokes and pronounced top/bottom accents on round characters.
