A decorative serif with crisp, angular construction and strongly flared, wedge-like terminals that read as sharp points rather than bracketed serifs. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin behavior with tapered joins and blade-like entry/exit cuts, producing a lively, slightly jagged silhouette. Capitals are tall and commanding with narrow interior counters (notably in B, P, R), while round forms like O and Q are vertically emphasized and pinched by pointed terminals. Lowercase keeps a compact rhythm with short ascenders/descenders and frequent triangular spur details, and the numerals echo the same pointed, cut-in treatment for a consistent texture in mixed settings.
Best suited to display typography such as titles, posters, book covers, and brand marks where the spiky terminals and gothic flavor can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when you want a dramatic, historicized tone, but the dense detail and sharp joins make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone feels gothic and ceremonial, evoking engraved headings, medieval revival lettering, and fantasy-adjacent display typography. The sharp terminals and tense contrast add drama and a slightly ominous gravitas, making the voice feel more theatrical than neutral.
The design intent appears to be a modern decorative serif that borrows from blackletter and inscriptional cues—using sharp wedges, tapered strokes, and angular cuts to deliver a historic, theatrical presence while remaining in a readable serif structure.
Spacing appears relatively tight in running text, and the abundant pointed terminals create a textured, sparkling edge that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes. The design maintains a consistent set of angular cuts across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps it hold together as a display system.
