A very heavy display face with wedge-like serifs and flared stroke endings that give the contours a carved, faceted feel. Strokes stay broadly consistent in weight with modest thick–thin modulation, while curves are slightly pinched and angular at transitions, producing lively, irregular silhouettes. Counters tend to be compact and the joins often come to subtle points, lending the letters a crisp, chiseled rhythm. Round forms such as O and Q read more like rounded polygons than perfect circles, reinforcing the handcrafted, emblematic character.
Best suited for short, high-impact setting where its bold, flared detailing can be appreciated—posters, headlines, title treatments, logotypes, and packaging. It also fits book covers and thematic collateral for historical, fantasy, or folk-inspired projects, and can work for signage-style applications when set large with generous spacing.
The font conveys an old-world, gothic tone with a theatrical edge—part medieval signage, part storybook headline. Its sharp terminals and sturdy massing feel assertive and ceremonial, suggesting tradition, folklore, and a touch of menace or mystery.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, decorative serif voice by combining heavy weight with flared terminals and chiseled transitions. Its forms prioritize character and presence over neutrality, aiming for a distinctive, period-evocative texture in display typography.
Uppercase forms appear especially robust and poster-ready, while the lowercase keeps the same carved logic with distinctive, pointed details (notably in forms like a, e, k, and t). Numerals follow the same faceted, flared construction, reading clearly at display sizes and adding to the period-inspired flavor.
