A decorative serif with tall, compact proportions and a strongly angular, faceted construction. Strokes are mostly straight and vertical, with crisp corners, pointed joins, and small wedge-like terminals that read as sharpened serifs. Counters tend toward rectangular and narrow, and many glyphs show chiseled notches and asymmetric cuts (notably in diagonals and bowls), producing a rigid, architectural rhythm. Curves are minimized in favor of planar segments, giving the alphabet a consistent, carved-in-stone feel across upper- and lowercase as well as numerals.
This face is best used for short-to-medium display settings where its angular detail can be appreciated: posters, chapter titles, game or film titling, and themed packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or UI headings in gothic/fantasy art direction, while extended body text may feel visually intense due to its dense, spiky texture.
The overall tone is dark, ceremonial, and archaic, evoking medieval inscriptions and gothic title lettering. Its sharp terminals and geometric rigidity lend it a severe, ominous mood that feels suited to fantasy, mystery, and dramatic narrative contexts.
The design appears intended to reinterpret gothic/inscriptional letterforms through a geometric, chiseled lens—prioritizing dramatic silhouette and thematic atmosphere over neutrality. Its consistent faceting and pointed terminals suggest a goal of creating a distinctive, era-evocative display serif for mood-driven branding and titles.
The lowercase retains the same angular logic as the capitals, with single-storey forms and squared-off counters that keep texture dense in running text. The numerals are similarly constructed with straight strokes and abrupt corners, maintaining a cohesive, emblematic presence.
