This typeface is a compact, serifed display design with strongly articulated, forked and spurred terminals that create a jagged, ornamental edge. Strokes stay relatively even in thickness, with frequent wedge-like flares and sharp inward notches that carve the silhouette into pointed facets. Curves are tightened and slightly squared off, and counters are kept open enough to remain legible while still feeling stylized. The rhythm is lively and uneven in an intentional way, with pronounced hooks and spur details appearing on both verticals and curves across the alphabet.
Best used for titles, headers, logos, and short passages where the decorative spurs can be appreciated at larger sizes. It suits fantasy and horror packaging, event posters, game title screens, and themed editorial display settings where a gothic or medieval atmosphere is desired.
The overall tone evokes gothic and medieval signage, with a suspenseful, storybook darkness that reads as ceremonial and theatrical. Its sharp spurs and ink-trap-like notches give it a slightly menacing, fantastical energy suited to dramatic headlines and immersive world-building.
The design appears intended to blend serif structure with blackletter-adjacent ornament, using forked terminals and flared cuts to create a dramatic, era-evocative texture while preserving enough clarity for headline-length reading.
Uppercase forms lean toward heraldic, chiseled shapes with prominent crown-like spurs, while lowercase keeps the same vocabulary in a more compact, text-like texture. Numerals follow the same spurred treatment, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel consistent. In longer lines, the repeated forked terminals create a distinctive, spiky color that becomes part of the design’s identity.
