A decorative serif with sharp, faceted contours and a distinctly chiseled construction. Strokes alternate between broad vertical stems and narrow joins, with wedge-like terminals and broken, angular curves that create a cut-stone rhythm rather than smooth calligraphic flow. Counters tend to be tight and irregular, and many letters show asymmetric spur shapes and notched transitions that emphasize a hand-hewn look. Proportions are compact with a short x-height, while uppercase forms read tall and emphatic; numerals follow the same angular, carved treatment.
Best suited to display typography where its sculpted texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book or album covers, and title treatments for fantasy, historical, or horror-adjacent themes. It can also work for short branding phrases, packaging labels, or chapter openers where atmosphere is prioritized over extended readability.
The overall tone feels medieval and ceremonial, evoking Gothic signage, folklore titles, and old-world proclamations. Its jagged, carved edges add drama and a slightly ominous theatricality, lending strong personality even at modest sizes.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional Gothic/antiquarian lettering through a faceted, engraved silhouette, prioritizing mood, texture, and strong letterform presence. It aims to deliver a historic, carved aesthetic that stands out in titles and branding rather than serving as a neutral text face.
Texture is intentionally uneven across the alphabet, producing lively silhouette variety and a handcrafted impression. The font’s strong internal angles and tight apertures can reduce clarity in dense settings, but they contribute to a distinctive display presence.
