This typeface is a decorative serif with sharply flared, wedge-like serifs and pointed terminals that give many strokes a spearhead finish. Stems and bowls are relatively sturdy, with moderate contrast and frequent tapering into thin, knife-like ends. The forms lean on angular joins and lively curvature rather than strict classical geometry, creating a slightly irregular, hand-forged rhythm across words. Uppercase letters show pronounced, sculpted serifs and occasional extended arms, while lowercase maintains readable proportions but adds distinctive hooks and spikes on ascenders, diagonals, and entry strokes. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic, with crisp angles and pronounced finials.
Best suited to display applications where its spiky terminals and flared serifs can be appreciated—titles, cover typography, poster headlines, game or event branding, and themed packaging. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when a dramatic, old-world flavor is desired, but its busy detailing will read most clearly at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels medieval and theatrical, with a touch of playful eccentricity. It evokes fantasy signage, storybook titling, and heraldic lettering—confident and expressive rather than restrained or academic.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif construction through a chiseled, calligraphic lens, emphasizing pointed serifs and animated stroke endings to create an old-world, fantasy-leaning personality. Its letterforms prioritize distinctive silhouette and atmosphere over neutrality, aiming for immediate thematic recognition.
In running text the energetic terminals and varied stroke endings create a textured color on the page, with strong character shapes that stand out at display sizes. The design’s sharp finials and flared serifs make spacing feel dynamic and slightly uneven by intention, contributing to its decorative voice.
