A decorative serif with chunky, calligraphy-derived strokes and pronounced spur and forked terminals. Letterforms lean on angular joins and wedge-like serifs, with frequent internal notches and scooped counters that create a carved, slightly irregular silhouette. Curves are tight and assertive, while verticals and diagonals finish in pointed, flared ends that add bite and texture. Overall spacing and rhythm feel lively and uneven in a deliberate way, emphasizing display impact over smooth text color.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, poster typography, game or film titling, and brand marks that want a gothic or fantasy edge. It can also work for packaging and signage where texture and personality are desirable, but its ornate forms make it less appropriate for extended body copy at small sizes.
The font projects a medieval and slightly ominous tone, reminiscent of fantasy titles, gothic signage, and hand-cut lettering. Its sharp spurs and dramatic terminals give it a theatrical, incantatory voice that reads as mystical and ceremonial rather than neutral or modern.
Designed to deliver strong thematic character through spurred terminals, angular construction, and a carved, blackletter-adjacent texture. The emphasis appears to be on atmospheric display typography that reads instantly as historical, magical, or gothic.
The lowercase shows more variation and quirky shapes than the uppercase, reinforcing a hand-rendered feel. Numerals follow the same spurred, wedge-terminal logic and remain highly stylized, matching the set’s decorative intent.
