A heavy, display-oriented serif with compact internal counters and strongly flared, triangular serifs that read as incised or chiseled notches. Strokes stay broadly even in thickness, with rounded joins and softened curves that keep the blackletter influence feeling friendly rather than severe. Proportions are generous horizontally, with large, rounded bowls and a tall lowercase that makes the texture dense and dark. Terminals often finish in pointed wedges, giving a rhythmic, slightly spiky edge along baselines and caps without introducing true calligraphic contrast.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its dense weight and decorative serif treatment can be appreciated—posters, headlines, titles, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for themed applications like fantasy or vintage-inspired covers and signage, while longer paragraphs will likely feel heavy due to the tight counters and dark typographic color.
The overall tone blends gothic signage with a whimsical, storybook character—dark and dramatic in color, but approachable in silhouette. It suggests fantasy and medieval references while maintaining a playful, almost cartoon-like softness in the curves and counters.
The design appears intended as a bold decorative serif that merges gothic/medieval cues with rounded, approachable forms for high-impact display typography. Its consistent stroke weight and distinctive wedge serifs prioritize character and silhouette recognition over quiet readability.
The uppercase has a poster-like presence with simplified, chunky construction, while the lowercase keeps strong personality through distinctive wedge serifs and compact apertures. Numerals match the heavy color and share the same flared, decorative finishing, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
