A stylized serif with strongly flared, wedge-like terminals and sculpted joins that create a carved, incised impression. Strokes are generally heavy with smoothly swelling curves and sharp, pointed endings; many glyphs show deliberate cut-ins and notches that produce triangular counters and split apertures. Rounds are broad and slightly flattened, with horizontally stretched bowls and generous interior space, while diagonals and crossbars tend to taper into pointed, blade-like tips. The overall rhythm is spacious and display-oriented, with distinctive, logo-like silhouettes that remain consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, and logo wordmarks where its flared terminals and carved details can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging and editorial display pull quotes when set with ample size and tracking to preserve clarity.
The design reads as cinematic and futuristic with a retro sci‑fi/ancient-inscription flavor, combining elegance with a slightly menacing edge. Its sharp flares and carved detailing give it a ceremonial, mythic tone that feels suited to titles and branded statements rather than neutral text.
The font appears designed to deliver a distinctive, sculptural identity by merging classical serif cues with exaggerated flaring and cut-in details. Its aim is to create memorable silhouettes and a thematic, world-building voice suited to entertainment and brand-centric typography.
The alphabet emphasizes signature shapes—especially in the capitals—through repeated triangular cutouts and flare motifs, which makes letterforms highly characterful but also visually busy at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same language with rounded forms and pointed terminals, keeping the set cohesive for display typography.
