A decorative serif with a blocky, angular build and sharp, flared terminals that read as small wedge-like serifs. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, but corners and joins are aggressively notched and chamfered, creating a faceted, cut-metal feel. Counters tend toward squared shapes, and many forms use stepped interior cuts that add texture and a grid-like rhythm. The overall silhouette is wide and assertive, with emphatic horizontals, tight internal spacing, and distinctive spurs that keep the texture dark and compact in text.
Best suited to display use where the faceted terminals and angular counters can be appreciated—posters, fantasy or horror titling, game interfaces, album art, and branding marks that want an archaic or arcane edge. It can work for short bursts of text or pull quotes, but the dense internal cuts and sharp detailing are more effective when given space and size.
The tone is archaic and dramatic, evoking blackletter and carved inscription traditions without fully adopting calligraphic stroke logic. Its sharp corners and spiked terminals give it an ominous, ritualistic flavor that can feel gothic, game-like, and fantasy-coded. The dense, angular texture suggests strength and severity more than warmth or neutrality.
The design appears intended to merge a serif framework with blackletter-inspired sharpness, using notched corners and flared terminals to simulate chiseled or forged lettering. The goal seems to be a strong, thematic display face that signals medieval or occult atmosphere while maintaining consistent, constructed forms across cases and numerals.
In the sample text, the strong corner detailing and squared counters create a busy texture that becomes more impactful at larger sizes. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent construction language, with the lowercase retaining the same rigid, architectural geometry rather than softening into more conventional book forms. Numerals follow the same squared, notched styling for a cohesive headline set.
