A sharp, angular serif with chiseled contours and frequent forked or spurred terminals. Strokes stay relatively even in weight, with pointed wedge serifs, notched joins, and occasional mid-stem spurs that create a faceted, engraved rhythm. Capitals feel stately and upright with narrow internal counters and pronounced diagonal structure, while lowercase forms keep a compact, vertical posture and distinctive hooked or beaked terminals. Numerals follow the same pointed, cut-in treatment, with decorative angles and triangular endings that keep the texture lively in lines of text.
Best suited to display roles such as titles, chapter heads, posters, packaging, and branding where a historical or fantasy-leaning voice is desired. It can also work for short passages, pull quotes, or immersive editorial settings, especially when you want a dense, textured color and strong period flavor.
The overall tone is historical and ceremonial, evoking manuscript headings, heraldry, and fantasy or gothic-inflected settings. Its crisp, knife-edged detailing reads as dramatic and authoritative rather than friendly or neutral, giving text a theatrical, old-world presence.
The design appears intended to reinterpret medieval or blackletter-adjacent forms into a more legible serif structure, preserving the chiseled, ornamental edge through spurs and wedge serifs. The consistent, faceted detailing suggests a goal of creating a distinctive, thematic text face that feels engraved and ceremonial without relying on extreme contrast.
Spacing appears designed to maintain an even dark color despite the many points and notches, producing a steady rhythm in paragraphs. The repeated use of wedges, beaks, and small spurs creates a distinctive texture that becomes a defining stylistic signature at both display and text sizes.
