A decorative serif with heavy, chiseled forms and pronounced flaring at stroke ends that reads as sharp, wedge-like serifs rather than slabs. The letterforms are built from broad, low-contrast strokes with frequent triangular notches and cut-ins, producing a carved, faceted silhouette. Counters tend to be compact and squared-off, with a mix of rounded outer bowls (e.g., O/Q) and angular interior shaping that creates a mechanical, stencil-adjacent rhythm without fully breaking strokes. Uppercase proportions feel sturdy and slightly condensed in the sample text, while lowercase maintains a clear, readable structure with distinctive, blocky terminals and a firm baseline presence.
Best suited to display settings where its carved details can be appreciated, such as headlines, film or game titles, posters, packaging, and book-cover typography. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers, but the dense interior shaping is likely to feel busy in long-form text at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is theatrical and archaic, evoking carved inscriptions, medieval signwork, and fantasy or horror title lettering. Its sharp incisions and flared ends add tension and spectacle, giving text a ceremonious, poster-like authority rather than a quiet, bookish voice.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif construction through a carved, incised treatment—combining traditional serif cues with ornamental cut-ins to create a strong, characterful display face. Its consistent faceting suggests a goal of high-impact branding and title typography with a historic, dramatic flavor.
The font’s identity comes from consistent corner carving and notched joins that create small triangular voids and a faceted texture across words. Numerals follow the same cut-and-flare logic, keeping a unified, display-forward character across letters and figures.
