A faceted, angular serif with pronounced spurs and forked terminals that read as cut or chiseled rather than smoothly bracketed. Strokes are heavy and compact with moderate contrast, and many joins resolve into sharp corners or shallow notches, creating a rugged, carved rhythm across words. The capitals are broad and imposing, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, slightly irregular silhouette with distinctive wedges on ascenders and endings. Counters tend toward polygonal shapes (notably in O/Q and numerals like 8), reinforcing the geometric, cut-from-solid feel.
Best suited to display sizes where the carved details and forked terminals can be appreciated—posters, event titles, chapter heads, game/fantasy branding, and product packaging with an old-world or artisanal theme. It can work for short bursts of text in pull quotes or subheads, but the busy texture makes it less ideal for extended body copy.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking heraldry, stone inscriptions, and fantasy or folklore titling. Its sharp spurs and emphatic weight give it a dramatic, authoritative voice that can feel both historic and slightly ominous depending on setting.
The design appears intended to translate medieval/blackletter energy into a bold, readable display serif, using spurs and faceted curves to suggest engraving or stonecut lettering while maintaining clear, contemporary word shapes.
Spacing appears intentionally open enough to keep the dense shapes from clogging, though the jagged terminals create a lively texture in longer lines. Diacritics are not shown; punctuation in the sample suggests the style carries through with similarly angular detailing.
