A decorative serif with a sculpted, incised construction and sharp, wedge-like serifs. Strokes alternate between thick verticals and tapered hairlines, with frequent knife-edge terminals and subtle swelling that suggests a chiseled or pen-cut origin. The proportions are generous and open, with broad bowls and slightly irregular, lively curves that keep the rhythm animated in text. Round forms (like O and o) read as weighty and faceted rather than purely geometric, and diagonals and joins often finish in pointed, triangular cuts.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, title treatments, and cover typography where its dramatic silhouettes can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for thematic packaging or branding that benefits from a historic or fantastical mood, but the intense detailing and contrast may feel heavy in long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is theatrical and old-world, blending a gothic headline presence with a storybook, folkloric flavor. Its pointed terminals and carved texture give it a ceremonial, slightly ominous character that feels suited to fantasy, mystery, or historical themes.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing serif with an engraved, medieval-leaning personality. Its consistent use of wedge serifs and sharpened terminals suggests an aim to evoke carved lettering or calligraphic cutting while remaining legible and structured for display typography.
In the sample text, the texture is strong and assertive, with distinctive silhouettes that emphasize word shapes over neutrality. The numerals and lowercase show the same chiseled terminal logic, keeping a consistent decorative voice across the set.
