A decorative serif with sharp, flared terminals and high-contrast strokes that create a crisp, chiseled silhouette. The letterforms lean on triangular wedge serifs, hooked joins, and occasional thorn-like protrusions, with a deliberately roughened texture in counters and along curves that suggests worn ink or distressed engraving. Curves are full and rounded (notably in O/Q/C), while diagonals and joins end in pointed tips, producing a lively, slightly jagged rhythm. Spacing feels open and the capitals read confidently, while the lowercase retains the same aggressive terminal language and crisp contrast.
Best suited to display typography where its spiky serifs and worn texture can be appreciated—such as posters, book or film titling, game titles, album art, and thematic branding. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers in projects that want a gothic or supernatural flavor, but it is most effective when used sparingly at larger sizes.
The overall tone is dark and stylized, evoking folklore, gothic signage, and horror or fantasy titling. Its spiked details and distressed finish add a sense of age, menace, and theatricality, making the text feel like it belongs to a cursed manuscript or a dramatic poster headline.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, gothic-leaning serif with a distressed finish—combining classical high-contrast structure with sharpened, ornamental terminals for dramatic impact. The consistent texture and pointed detailing suggest it was drawn primarily for atmospheric headlines rather than neutral long-form reading.
In the sample text, the texture and spurs are clearly visible at display sizes, where they become part of the personality rather than noise. The numerals and uppercase maintain consistent wedge-serifs and pointed terminals, helping the set feel cohesive across letters and figures.
