This typeface is a heavy, display-oriented serif with sharp, forked terminals and small mid-stem spurs that give many letters a carved, blade-like silhouette. Strokes are predominantly thick with subtle modulation, and joints often finish in pointed wedges rather than soft curves. The letterforms are compact and slightly angular, with tight inner counters and a rhythmic texture that reads as dark and dense in text. Numerals match the same spurred construction, using sturdy verticals and pointed finishing details for a consistent voice.
Best used for headlines, titles, posters, and packaging or branding where an archaic or theatrical atmosphere is desired. It can also work for book-cover typography and event materials (e.g., festivals, themed venues, games) where the display texture and sharp terminals add narrative flavor.
The overall tone evokes medieval and gothic signage, with an ominous, storybook darkness and a hint of fantasy theatrics. The pointed spurs and incised feeling create a dramatic, ceremonial mood suited to evocative titles rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to modernize blackletter-era energy into a more legible display serif, retaining the forked, spurred drama while keeping letter shapes recognizable for contemporary headline use.
At larger sizes, the distinctive forked serifs and spur details become the main character; at smaller sizes the compact counters and dense color can make paragraphs feel heavy. The design maintains a consistent “sharpened” terminal vocabulary across capitals, lowercase, and figures, which helps it hold together in short bursts of text.
