This typeface is a heavy, flared serif with broad, sculpted strokes and wedge-like terminals that often taper into sharp points. Curves are full and rounded, while joins and stroke endings show an incised, knife-cut feel that creates a lively rhythm across words. Serifs and terminals are frequently asymmetric and slightly hooked, giving many letters a clawed, decorative silhouette. Proportions are robust with compact counters and a sturdy baseline presence, keeping the texture dense and headline-forward.
Best used at display sizes for headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where the spiky flares and wedge serifs can be appreciated. It suits branding marks, packaging, and poster work that leans historical, fantastical, or theatrical. For longer passages, it will be most effective when set large with generous spacing to keep the dense texture from feeling crowded.
The overall tone feels medieval and theatrical, with a hint of fantasy signage and heraldry. Its spurred, pointed terminals and carved look evoke blackletter-adjacent drama without becoming fully gothic, making it feel expressive and story-driven. The effect is bold and attention-grabbing, suited to settings where character matters more than neutrality.
The design appears intended to combine a classic serif foundation with expressive, carved flares and sharpened terminals, producing a decorative display face with an old-world voice. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and dramatic rhythm, giving designers a strong, characterful option for themed and attention-led typography.
Distinctive pointed terminals appear on many forms (notably S, T, V/W, and several lowercase), creating a crisp sparkle at the edges of text. The numerals share the same carved, flared treatment and read as weighty and traditional, reinforcing the display character of the design.
