A heavy display serif with pronounced flared terminals and tapered stroke endings that create pointed, horn-like spurs at corners and joins. The letterforms are compact and sturdy, with rounded bowls, firm vertical emphasis, and a lively, slightly irregular rhythm driven by swelling stems and carved-in notches. Serifs behave more like sharp flares than flat slabs, giving many capitals and numerals a chiseled silhouette, while lowercase maintains readable proportions with a moderate x-height and assertive entry/exit strokes.
Best suited for short, prominent settings such as headlines, display typography, book or album titles, posters, and branding that wants an old-world or fantastical edge. It can work for pull quotes or section headers, but is likely to feel dense for long passages at small sizes due to its strong terminals and dark weight.
The overall tone feels gothic and theatrical, with an antique, storybook flavor. Its sharp flares and dark color give it a bold, ceremonial presence that reads as mysterious, medieval-leaning, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with dramatic flared endings to produce a distinctive, vintage display voice. The emphasis on sharp spurs, tapered joins, and a compact, weighty build suggests a focus on character and impact over neutral text economy.
The texture is consistently dark with frequent triangular counters and cut-ins that add sparkle at larger sizes, but can become busy in small text. Wide characters like W and M amplify the spurred, blackletter-adjacent impression without fully adopting broken-stroke construction.
