A serif display face with sturdy, mostly even stroke widths that end in pronounced flared terminals and sharp, horn-like serifs. The letterforms are compact and upright with a steady rhythm, while small triangular notches and pointed join treatments add an incised, carved quality. Uppercase forms feel broad and stately, and the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with distinctive, angular details on stems and bowls. Numerals are bold and sculptural, matching the typeface’s crisp, tapered endings and assertive silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where the flared terminals and incised detailing can be appreciated. It works well for book covers, event posters, packaging accents, and identity wordmarks seeking a classic, theatrical, or gothic-leaning voice.
The overall tone is dramatic and slightly gothic, evoking carved inscriptions and old-world signage rather than modern text typography. Its pointed flares and ornamental bite give it a theatrical, storybook atmosphere that reads as vintage and ceremonial.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif structure with carved, flared finishing to deliver a distinctive, old-world display texture. Its consistent sharp terminals and sculpted joins prioritize personality and atmosphere while maintaining clear letter recognition.
Many terminals finish in symmetric spikes or wedge-like flares, creating a consistent sparkling edge across the alphabet. The design stays disciplined and legible at display sizes, but the cumulative sharp detailing makes it feel intentionally decorative rather than neutral.
