A decorative serif with heavy, chiseled forms and pronounced wedge-like terminals. Strokes show an incised, carved logic: ends often flare into triangular serifs, and joins create sharp internal notches that read like cut-ins. The curves are broad and rounded (notably in C, O, and lower-case bowls), while diagonals and arms finish with pointed, angular tips, producing a strong light/dark pattern. Proportions are slightly condensed in some capitals with wide rounds elsewhere, giving the alphabet a lively, uneven rhythm that feels intentionally ornamental rather than strictly geometric.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, title treatments, packaging, and logotypes where the carved wedges and notched details can remain crisp. It can also work for chapter heads or pull quotes in thematic editorial layouts, but is likely to feel busy in long passages or at small sizes where the sharp cut-ins and flared terminals may close up.
The overall tone evokes carved lettering and heraldic display—dramatic, old-world, and a bit theatrical. Its spiky terminals and notched joins add a fantasy or storybook flavor, suggesting signage, titles, and period-inspired branding more than neutral text setting.
The design appears intended to translate a carved or incised inscriptional feel into a bold, highly legible display serif. Its consistent wedge-terminal system and deliberate notching aim to deliver a strong period mood while keeping letterforms recognizable and punchy in headlines.
Uppercase characters carry the strongest decorative accents, with deep wedges on strokes and distinctive diagonal cutaways that create sparkle at larger sizes. Lowercase keeps the same vocabulary but reads a touch softer due to the round counters, while still retaining pointed entry/exit strokes on letters like a, d, and y. Numerals are similarly stylized, with angular feet and strong terminal wedges that match the caps.
