A decorative serif design with sharp, faceted letterforms and a visibly hand-hewn contour. Strokes alternate between narrow hairlines and thicker wedges, with pointed terminals and small, uneven serifs that feel cut rather than drawn. Counters are often angular and slightly skewed, and curves break into subtle planes, creating a roughened rhythm across words. Overall spacing and letter widths vary noticeably, giving text a lively, uneven texture while remaining legible at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as book covers, chapter titles, posters, game or film titling, and identity work that benefits from an antique or fantastical atmosphere. It can work for short passages or introductory text at larger sizes where the irregular details have room to breathe.
The font conveys an old-world, slightly mysterious tone—part medieval, part storybook, with a hint of theatrical gothic character. Its jagged edges and carved look suggest artifacts, folklore, and dark fantasy without becoming fully blackletter.
The design appears intended to emulate carved or cut lettering with high drama and a crafted, historical flavor, prioritizing distinctive texture and mood over strict geometric regularity. Its controlled eccentricities aim to keep words readable while projecting a strong narrative personality.
Uppercase forms tend to be more rigid and monumental, while lowercase introduces more calligraphic quirks and narrower joins, which increases the handmade feel in running text. Numerals share the same carved, angular treatment, helping headings and pull quotes keep a consistent voice.
