A compact serif with sturdy verticals and a distinctly ornamental terminal language. Serifs are sharp and forked, often flaring into small spurs and notches that create a chiseled, engraved feel. Curves are taut and slightly squared-off, with narrow counters and a tight overall rhythm that keeps words dense and vertical. Capitals are tall and commanding, while the lowercase maintains a steady, workmanlike structure with pointed entry/exit details and occasional mid-stem spur accents.
Best suited to display settings where its ornate terminals can be appreciated—posters, headlines, title sequences, book covers, and themed branding. It can work for short paragraphs at larger sizes, but its tight counters and dense rhythm suggest using generous size and spacing for comfortable reading.
The tone is medieval and theatrical, evoking gothic lettering and vintage printwork. Its crisp, spurred details give it an assertive, slightly menacing energy that reads as historical, ceremonial, and story-driven rather than neutral or purely editorial.
The design appears intended to blend strong readability with a historically flavored, decorative serif vocabulary. By keeping the overall construction disciplined while concentrating ornament at terminals and select spur points, it delivers a dramatic, period-leaning voice without becoming overly intricate.
The font’s personality comes through most in stroke endings: many terminals resolve into hooked or forked points, adding texture even in straightforward text. Numerals follow the same angular, spurred logic, reinforcing a consistent, carved-in-ink appearance across letters and figures.
