This typeface combines sturdy, low-contrast strokes with sharply cut, flared terminals that read like wedge serifs. Curves are squared-off and slightly boxy in places, while corners and joins are crisply articulated, giving many letters a carved, faceted look. Uppercase forms feel compact and formal, with distinctive notches and beak-like finishing strokes; lowercase is simpler but keeps the same chiseled terminals and firm rhythm. Numerals are heavy and geometric, with clear, blocky counters and consistent weight distribution across the set.
Best suited to display settings such as titles, headlines, posters, and branding where its distinctive flared terminals and dark presence can be appreciated. It can work well for fantasy or historical themes, as well as packaging and signage that benefit from a bold, authoritative voice. In dense body copy, the sharp details are likely to read best at moderate-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is historical and ceremonial, evoking inscriptional lettering and gothic display traditions without becoming overly ornate. Its sharp terminals and dark color create a sense of authority and drama, with a slightly fantastical, storybook edge in longer text.
The letterforms appear designed to merge robust readability with an inscribed, chiseled personality—using flared stroke endings, crisp cuts, and slightly squared curves to suggest hand-carved tradition in a contemporary, consistent system.
The design relies on consistent terminal shapes to unify the alphabet: many horizontals and diagonals end in pointed, outward flares, and several letters show purposeful asymmetries or interior cuts that add character at larger sizes. Round letters (like O/C) stay relatively squared in their curves, reinforcing the carved aesthetic.
