A narrow, blackletter-inflected serif with crisp angular construction and frequent forked/spurred terminals. Strokes show a controlled, moderate contrast with pointed joins, wedge-like serifs, and occasional mid-stem spurs that create a carved, faceted rhythm. Curves are tightened into tense bowls and shoulders, while verticals stay dominant, giving the face a compact, upright texture. Numerals and capitals carry the same sharp detailing, with distinctive notches and flared ends that keep counters open while maintaining a dark overall color.
Best used for display typography such as posters, titles, chapter heads, labels, and logotypes where its spurred terminals and gothic flavor can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or menu headings, but extended small-size text may feel busy due to the sharp detailing and dark texture.
The font reads as historic and ceremonial, evoking manuscript, heraldry, and old-world print. Its sharp spurs and chiseled terminals add a slightly ominous, dramatic edge that feels suited to fantasy and period settings rather than neutral contemporary branding.
The letterforms appear designed to blend traditional serif structure with blackletter-like angularity, using forked terminals and mid-height spurs to create a historic, engraved presence. The overall intention is decorative clarity: recognizable Latin shapes with enough ornament to signal period character and drama.
The design relies on consistent pointed finishing and interior notches to define forms, producing strong word-shapes and a rhythmic, textured line. At smaller sizes the dense detailing can visually merge, while at display sizes the ornamental terminals become a defining feature.
