A wide, flared-serif design with sculpted wedge terminals and an incised, carved-stroke feel. Strokes expand into sharp, triangular serifs and pointed finials, creating a strong rhythm of thick-to-thin transitions without becoming delicate. Counters are generous and round in letters like O and C, while many joins pinch inward, producing a distinctive waisted silhouette. Uppercase forms feel stately and broad, and the lowercase maintains clear, open shapes with prominent flaring at stems and feet that reads crisply at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography—headlines, posters, title sequences, and cover design—where the flared terminals and carved detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes, chapter openers, or brand marks that want a historic or fantasy-inflected voice.
The overall tone is ceremonial and archaic, evoking inscriptions, fantasy titling, and storybook classicism. The sharp wedges and flared endings add drama and a sense of craft, giving text a theatrical, mythic presence rather than a purely editorial one.
The design appears intended to merge classical inscriptional cues with bold, decorative flaring, prioritizing a distinctive silhouette and dramatic terminals. Its wide proportions and consistent wedge detailing suggest a focus on impactful titling and atmospheric branding rather than neutral long-form text.
The numerals and capitals emphasize stability and width, with assertive terminals that create strong word shapes in headlines. In running sample text, the pronounced flares and angled cuts can become visually busy, so the design reads most comfortably when given ample size, spacing, or shorter line lengths.
