A heavy, flared serif with wedge-like terminals and sharp, spurred corners that give strokes an incised, cut-from-stone feel. Stems swell subtly toward the ends and resolve into pointed serifs rather than flat slabs, producing a compact, sculpted silhouette. Curves are robust and slightly pinched at joins, while diagonals and arms often finish with small barbs, creating a crisp, ornamental edge. The lowercase is sturdy and readable, with rounded bowls and a pronounced rhythm, and the numerals match the same chiseled, flaring treatment for a consistent texture in mixed settings.
Best suited to display applications where its carved, flared details can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book and album covers, game titles, and themed branding. It also works well for short passages such as pull quotes or chapter titles, especially in historical or fantasy contexts.
The overall tone is archaic and theatrical, evoking medieval signage, fantasy titles, and classic adventure or horror motifs. Its sharp spurs and carved terminals add tension and drama, while the substantial strokes keep it approachable enough for display copy.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with a chiseled, flaring terminal language, creating a decorative face that reads clearly while projecting an antique, story-driven personality.
In text, the pointed terminals and internal notches create a lively, slightly jagged color that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes. Capitals have a formal, heraldic presence, and the ampersand shares the same angular, decorative character, reinforcing a vintage, ornamental voice.
