A decorative serif with sharp wedge terminals and subtly calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with tapered joins and occasional pinched or notched interior corners, giving the outlines a cut-and-chiseled feel. Capitals are relatively tall and stately with flared, triangular serifs and crisp diagonals; rounds are slightly squarish and controlled rather than fully geometric. The lowercase is compact with a short x-height, narrow apertures, and lively ascenders/descenders that end in pointed hooks and blades, creating a textured rhythm in words. Numerals follow the same angular, tapered logic, with distinctive pointed terminals that read best at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as book covers, chapter openers, event posters, and themed branding where an antique or fantasy-leaning voice is desired. It can also work for short pull quotes or labels on packaging, but the pointed details and compact lowercase suggest using generous size and leading for comfortable reading.
The overall tone is medieval and literary—evoking illuminated manuscripts, fantasy titles, and old-world signage. Its sharp terminals and slightly thorny details add drama and a hint of mystery, while the consistent serif language keeps it feeling intentional and structured rather than distressed.
The font appears designed to deliver a historical, manuscript-inspired atmosphere while remaining typographically disciplined. Its wedge serifs, tapered strokes, and angular cuts aim to create a distinctive silhouette for dramatic titles and ornamental text without relying on heavy texture or overt distress.
Across the set, the design balances refined serif structure with idiosyncratic, hand-influenced details—especially in the lowercase where terminals often flick into small hooks. Spacing appears on the tight side, and the strong silhouette character of many glyphs gives the font a pronounced word shape that can dominate a layout.
