A decorative serif with crisp, angular construction and frequent chamfered corners that give curves a faceted, cut-metal feel. Stems are fairly even in thickness, with small forked and spurred terminals that read like miniature wedges rather than smooth bracketed serifs. Counters tend toward squarish and octagonal shapes (notably in O/0 and rounded letters), and joins often form sharp notches and pointed beaks. Overall spacing is moderately open for a display face, with lively, slightly irregular letter widths that create a hand-set, emblematic rhythm in words.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, cover titles, posters, labels, and branding where its ornate spurs remain visible. It can work for themed body text only at larger sizes with generous leading, as the dense interior angles and pointed details become more prominent in longer passages.
The tone is historic and ceremonial, evoking blackletter-inspired signage, old-world print, and fantasy or folklore titles. Its sharp spurs and faceted bowls add a martial, heraldic edge that feels crafted and authoritative rather than casual.
The design appears intended to reinterpret gothic/medieval letterforms in a clean, reproducible display style—keeping blackletter-like sharpness and ornament while maintaining upright, readable proportions for modern titling and branding contexts.
Uppercase forms are strong and emblem-like, while lowercase introduces more texture through pointed shoulders and asymmetric details (e.g., the angled beaks on r and the hooked forms on f and t). Numerals match the angular language, with octagonal rounds and firm, chiseled terminals that keep figures visually consistent with the caps.
