A decorative serif with heavy, squared stems and sharply flared wedge serifs that read like carved or stamped letterforms. The design favors angular construction and flattened curves, with frequent notches and stepped joins that create a geometric, almost modular rhythm. Counters tend to be rectangular and tight, while terminals often finish in pointed or chiseled spur shapes. Overall spacing appears compact and the dark strokes produce dense word shapes with a jagged, ornamental silhouette.
Best suited for short-form display use where its carved, angular detailing can be appreciated—titles, headers, posters, branding marks, and thematic packaging. It can work for atmospheric pull quotes or chapter headings, but extended body text will feel heavy and visually busy due to the dense strokes and sharp detailing.
The tone is archaic and dramatic, evoking blackletter-adjacent, runic, or "engraved" aesthetics without becoming fully calligraphic. Its sharp serifs and angular cut-ins lend an ominous, ceremonial mood that feels suited to fantasy, mystery, and old-world themes.
The letterforms appear designed to emulate an inscribed or forged look—prioritizing emblematic impact and period flavor over neutrality. The consistent wedge serif treatment and systematic angular cut-ins suggest an intent to create a cohesive, iconic texture that reads as historical or fantastical.
The uppercase has a strong, blocky presence with pronounced serifs that create a sawtooth baseline and capline texture in text. Lowercase forms keep the same chiseled logic and can appear highly stylized at smaller sizes, where the notches and inward cuts become a defining feature of the texture.
