An ornate serif with blackletter-inflected construction, showing tall, narrow proportions and strong thick–thin modulation. Stems often flare into forked or spurred terminals, and many joins end in pointed, blade-like serifs rather than soft brackets. Curves are taut and asymmetric, with occasional internal hooks and looped forms (notably in round letters and some lowercase), producing a lively, slightly irregular rhythm. The overall texture is crisp and dark, with vertical emphasis and decorative detailing that remains consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where its ornate terminals and high-contrast strokes can be appreciated—titles, posters, album art, book covers, and themed branding. It can also work for short pull quotes or headings, but the dense texture and decorative details make it less ideal for extended small-size body copy.
The font reads as medieval and dramatic, with a gothic, storybook flavor that leans toward the mysterious and ceremonial. Its sharp terminals and ornamental spurs create a sense of tension and spectacle, evoking fantasy, magic, or vintage show lettering rather than quiet editorial neutrality.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif structure with gothic, forked-terminal ornamentation, creating a distinctive display face that signals historical or fantastical themes. Its narrow, vertically driven rhythm and crisp pointed details prioritize character and atmosphere over minimalism.
Capitals present the strongest display character, combining narrow silhouettes with distinctive internal shapes and occasional swash-like strokes. Lowercase keeps the same spurred logic and pointed finishing, maintaining a textured line even in longer phrases. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, decorative approach, with curled or tapered terminals that suit titling more than dense data tables.
