A decorative serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and flared, chiseled stroke endings that create a carved, slightly blackletter-adjacent texture. Strokes show moderate contrast with pronounced tapering and occasional spur-like projections, producing crisp angles on diagonals and distinctive notches at joins. Counters tend toward compact, often with pointed apertures and asymmetric interior shaping, while curves are tightened by small cuts and hooks that add edge and movement. The overall rhythm is assertive and irregular in detail, with varied terminal shapes and a subtly hand-drawn, blade-cut finish across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best used in display contexts where its notched terminals and engraved texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, chapter titles, book covers, and themed branding. It can work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, menu sections, labels) when set with generous size and spacing to keep counters open and details from clashing.
The tone feels medieval and theatrical—part gothic display, part storybook engraving—conveying mystery and ceremony without becoming fully blackletter. Its sharp terminals and carved details give it a historic, fantasy-leaning character suited to evocative, atmospheric typography.
The design appears intended to evoke carved or blade-cut lettering with a historic, fantasy-forward flavor, blending traditional serif structure with ornamental, angular detailing for high-impact display use.
Caps carry the strongest ornamental presence, with angular serifs and occasional inward cuts that create a notched silhouette; lowercase keeps the same language but reads more fluid in text. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic, with prominent cuts and pointed ends that help them match headline settings.
