A dark, angular serif with faceted, chiseled contours and lively, uneven edges that feel hand-cut rather than mechanically smooth. Strokes stay heavy with minimal contrast, while many terminals end in forked points or small spurs that create a jagged silhouette. Counters are often polygonal and slightly pinched, and the overall rhythm is intentionally irregular, giving the text a textured, carved look. Spacing reads compact-to-moderate, with strong black shapes and distinctive terminals keeping letters visually separated at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where the angular spurs and rough-hewn texture can read clearly—posters, title treatments, fantasy or historical-themed packaging, game interfaces, event promotions, and chapter headings. It can work for short bursts of text in themed contexts, but the highly distinctive terminals and dense color are most effective in larger sizes.
The font conveys a medieval, storybook gothic mood—bold, rugged, and slightly mischievous. Its pointed spurs and cut-stone texture suggest folklore, fantasy, and old-world signage more than modern neutrality.
The design appears intended to evoke carved lettering and gothic/medieval inscriptional forms, using forked terminals and faceted strokes to create a dramatic, handcrafted voice. Its consistent use of spurs and angular counters suggests a deliberate focus on atmosphere and texture over neutral readability.
Uppercase forms feel emblematic and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps the same cut, spurred logic for cohesive setting in short phrases. Numerals match the angular construction and maintain the same heavy, carved presence, making them suitable for headings and thematic labels.
