A dark, display-oriented serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and sharply notched joins that give the outlines a carved, incised character. Strokes are broadly even, with subtle swelling into the serifs and small spur-like projections at corners; curves are full but tightened by pointed entry/exit cuts. Proportions lean compact and sturdy in capitals, while lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic rhythm with angled terminals, a single-storey “g,” and a lightly tapered, engraved look across rounds and diagonals. Numerals are weighty and open, matching the same flared finishing and crisp internal counters.
Well suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where a historic or fantasy atmosphere is desired—such as posters, book and game covers, themed branding, and packaging. It can work for larger-size editorial pull quotes or chapter openers, but its dense color and ornamental terminals are most effective in display settings.
The overall tone reads medieval and theatrical—evoking blackletter-adjacent signage without fully committing to blackletter construction. It feels historic and decorative, with a strong storybook and fantasy flavor that emphasizes mood and presence over neutrality.
The letterforms appear designed to blend traditional serif structure with incised, flared finishing, creating a distinctive old-world voice that remains readable while adding ornament and drama. The consistent use of wedge terminals and notched joins suggests an intention to mimic carved lettering and evoke heritage styling.
The design relies on consistent triangular cuts and flare motifs across both straight stems and curves, producing a distinctive texture in text lines. The heavier color and sharp detailing suggest best results at larger sizes where the notches and spurs remain clear.
