A high-contrast display serif with calligraphic, tapering strokes and sharp triangular terminals. Many glyphs show intentional breaks and small bridging cuts that create a stencil-like construction, often appearing as slits or diamond-shaped notches within counters. Capitals are tall and stylized with narrow joins and pronounced hooks, while lowercase forms maintain a consistent rhythm with slightly narrow proportions and lively, uneven curves. Numerals and punctuation follow the same sharp, cut-in detailing, with round forms frequently featuring internal breaks that read as decorative inlays.
Best suited for titles, logos, and short display lines where the cut-in stencil details and sharp contrast can be appreciated. It works well for genre-forward applications such as fantasy and horror packaging, game UI headings, book cover titling, and themed event promotions.
The overall tone is theatrical and arcane, blending gothic lettering cues with a whimsical, fantasy flavor. Its sharp terminals and carved-out details suggest inscriptions, spellbooks, or ceremonial signage rather than neutral text setting.
The design appears intended to deliver a decorative, genre-specific voice by combining calligraphic serif forms with deliberate stencil breaks, creating the feel of carved or ritualistic lettering. The consistent internal cutouts and pointed terminals prioritize atmosphere and memorability over long-form readability.
The broken-stroke detailing is integrated consistently across rounded letters (like O/Q and some bowls), which adds visual texture but also increases sparkle and fragmentation at smaller sizes. Curves often end in pointed fins or hooked serifs, giving words a restless, animated silhouette.
