A bold display serif with flared stems and sharp, wedge-like serif endings that give strokes a carved, chiseled impression. Curves are broad and rounded, but many joins and terminals pinch into narrow points or notches, producing an ink-trap-like tension at counters and intersections. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with pronounced bowls and heavy horizontals, while capitals are stately and geometric with strong triangular cues (notably in A, V, W, Y). Numerals follow the same chunky, sculptural logic, with rounded bodies and pointed, tapered finishing strokes that keep the rhythm lively at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, book and album covers, game and film titles, and branding that benefits from a dramatic, crafted aesthetic. It can work for short pull quotes or packaging callouts, but the dense texture and sharp internal notches are most effective when set larger with a bit of breathing room.
The overall tone feels dramatic and story-driven—part medieval, part theatrical—suggesting fantasy titles, occult ornament, or vintage show-card lettering. Its sharp inner notches and spear-like terminals add a slightly sinister, mysterious edge while the rounded mass keeps it approachable and legible for short bursts.
The design appears intended to fuse classic serif structure with a stylized, flared, carved treatment—creating a distinctive, high-impact display face that evokes historical or fantastical themes while retaining recognizable letterforms.
Across both cases, the design consistently emphasizes triangular cuts, pinched apertures, and flared stroke endings, creating a strong black-and-white pattern with distinctive internal shapes. The texture is intentionally decorative, so the most characteristic look emerges in headings and shorter lines where the pointed details can read cleanly.
