A compact, display-oriented serif with tall proportions and a distinctly ornamental terminal language. Strokes read largely even in thickness, but the sharp, triangular spurs and forked finishing strokes create a crisp, high-contrast impression at joins and endpoints. Serifs are wedge-like and pointed, with frequent mid-stem notches and small flares that give many letters a carved, chiseled silhouette. Curves are tight and vertical emphasis is strong, producing a narrow rhythm with pronounced straight stems and restrained bowls; counters stay relatively closed, reinforcing a dense, dramatic texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short passages where its ornate terminals can read clearly. It works well for book covers, album art, game titles, and packaging that wants an antique or gothic flavor, and can also serve as a distinctive logotype face when spaced carefully.
The overall tone feels gothic and old-world, evoking printed ephemera, fantasy titling, and antique shop signage. Its spurred details and angular terminals add a theatrical, slightly mysterious character while remaining legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif structure with blackletter-adjacent ornamentation, emphasizing pointed spurs and forked terminals to create a period, decorative voice. It prioritizes character and texture over neutrality, aiming for strong presence in display typography.
The lowercase shows distinctive, stylized forms (notably in a, g, y, and z) with sharp entry/exit strokes, while capitals maintain a consistent verticality with decorative hooks and wedges. Numerals match the same pointed terminal treatment and feel suited to headings rather than long-form tabular settings.
