A dark, compact serif with strongly flared stroke endings and sharp, wedge-like terminals that give each letter a carved, incised feel. Strokes are mostly sturdy with subtle contrast, and the joins frequently pinch into pointed crotches, creating a lively, angular rhythm. Curves are slightly squarish and tightened, counters are modest, and many letters show small spur-like protrusions that read as stylized serifs rather than smooth bracketed finishes. The overall texture is dense and high-impact, with expressive, irregularly shaped terminals that keep the line from feeling purely geometric.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, book and album covers, event branding, and game or film titles where a gothic or fantasy atmosphere is desired. It can work for short subheads and pull quotes, but the dense, spurred texture is most effective when given room to breathe at larger sizes.
The font projects a medieval and gothic tone with a hint of playful theatricality. Its spiky flares and carved contours evoke fantasy titles, period signage, and dramatic display typography, feeling more illustrative than literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, flared-serif display voice that blends old-world inscriptional cues with dramatic, stylized terminals. Its priority is character and atmosphere over unobtrusive readability, making it a strong choice for thematic branding and title typography.
Uppercase forms feel especially sculpted and emblematic, while lowercase maintains the same flared language with slightly softer movement in bowls and shoulders. Numerals share the same chiseled terminal treatment, helping mixed alphanumeric settings keep a consistent, decorative color. In longer lines the energetic terminals can create a busy texture, so it tends to reward generous sizing and spacing.
