This typeface is a decorative serif with an angular, faceted construction that suggests chiseled or cut forms rather than smooth curves. Strokes terminate in sharp, wedge-like serifs and pointed spurs, creating a jagged silhouette and a lively rhythm across words. Counters are relatively compact and often slightly irregular, with subtly broken-looking curves on round letters and a mix of straight and gently bowed stems. Uppercase forms feel tall and emphatic, while the lowercase maintains a firm vertical stance with similarly pointed terminals and compact joins; numerals follow the same sharp, cut-in style.
It is best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, book covers, and title treatments where its angular detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for logos or short titling in fantasy, historical, or occult-adjacent themes, while extended small-size text may feel busy due to the sharp terminals and dense texture.
The overall tone is distinctly Gothic and old-world, evoking manuscript lettering, heraldic inscriptions, and fantasy-oriented display typography. The sharp terminals and faceted contours add tension and drama, making the texture feel assertive and ceremonial rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter-inspired and inscriptional cues in a more legible, roman serif structure, prioritizing atmosphere and distinctive silhouettes over neutrality. Its consistent use of pointed serifs and faceted curves suggests an aim for a crafted, engraved impression suitable for expressive titling.
In the sample text, the strong triangular terminals create pronounced word shapes and clear vertical punctuation-like accents on many letters. The design’s decorative edges are consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving it a cohesive, crafted appearance that stands out most at larger sizes.
