This serif italic has a faceted, chiseled construction with crisp wedge-like terminals and sharply cut serifs. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with many joins and curves resolving into angular corners rather than smooth bowls. The italic slant is strong and consistent, and the letters have a slightly irregular, hand-cut rhythm—especially in curved forms—giving the texture a lively, engraved feel. Uppercase shapes are compact and emphatic with pointed apexes, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and narrow apertures that keep the color dense in text.
Best suited to headlines, packaging, posters, and titling where the carved, historical flavor can be appreciated. It works well for fantasy or period-themed branding and book covers, and can be used for short pull quotes or subheads when a strong, antique voice is desired.
The overall tone feels medieval and theatrical, evoking old-world inscriptions, fantasy settings, and storybook titles. Its sharp, carved details create a dramatic presence that reads as historic and slightly ominous rather than modern or neutral.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif italic forms through an engraved, faceted lens—prioritizing dramatic silhouette, sharp terminals, and an old-world texture for expressive display typography.
At display sizes the distinctive wedge serifs and angular curves are highly characterful, while in longer passages the tight counters and busy internal angles create a dark, textured paragraph color. Numerals follow the same cut-stone logic, with slanted, pointed forms that match the italic momentum.
