A serif design with pronounced, forked wedge serifs and spurred terminals that create a chiseled, slightly ragged silhouette. Strokes show moderate contrast with broad, tapering joins and sharp notches that suggest a cut or distressed edge rather than smooth calligraphy. Counters are generally open, while many stems and shoulders carry small barbs and mid-stem spurs that add texture and visual bite. Overall proportions feel compact and sturdy, with a lively, irregular edge treatment that remains consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display applications where its serrated serifs and decorative spurs can be appreciated—titles, posters, book covers, game or film branding, and themed packaging. It can work for short passages such as pull quotes or chapter openers when set with generous size and spacing, but it will be most effective as an attention-grabbing accent rather than a primary text face.
The tone reads dark and theatrical, with an old-world, folklore energy. Its barbed serifs and uneven edges evoke mystery and a hint of menace, landing somewhere between medieval ornament and horror-poster display. The texture adds drama and personality, making the voice feel handcrafted and slightly uncanny.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, characterful serif with intentionally rough, forked terminals that amplify atmosphere. Its consistent spurring and notched stroke endings suggest a deliberate move toward a carved, vintage-display look optimized for impact and thematic styling.
In text settings the distinctive spurs and notched joins remain prominent, giving paragraphs a strong pattern and a busy color. The numerals share the same roughened, wedge-serif language, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive. Because the detailing is high-frequency, the face visually intensifies as sizes get smaller and spacing tightens.
