A decorative serif with an incised, chiseled construction and crisp wedge-like serifs. Strokes stay mostly even in weight but break into sharp, triangular terminals and notched joins that create a carved, faceted look. Curves are slightly squarish and pulled tight, with narrow bowls and compact interior counters; the lowercase is notably small relative to the capitals, reinforcing a tall, vertical rhythm. The overall texture reads clean and graphic, with pointed details on letters like V/W/Y and distinctive, stylized forms in the numerals and punctuation.
Best used for display settings such as posters, book covers, title treatments, and entertainment branding where a carved, Gothic-leaning serif can carry mood. It can also work for short pull quotes, packaging labels, or chapter heads, but its sharp detailing favors medium-to-large sizes over dense body text.
The font evokes a Gothic and arcane mood—part medieval inscription, part early-20th-century display—giving text a mysterious, ceremonial presence. Its sharp, cut-in details and formal stance feel dramatic and slightly ominous, well-suited to fantasy or horror-adjacent themes without becoming fully blackletter.
The design appears intended to deliver a dramatic, carved-serif voice: legible enough to set phrases, but stylized to signal genre and atmosphere. By combining restrained stroke weight with incised wedge terminals and compact proportions, it aims to feel both formal and fantastical.
Distinctive letterform quirks (including angular bowls and occasional asymmetrical cuts) make it feel intentionally stylized rather than purely historical. Spacing in the samples produces a strong vertical cadence, and the pointed terminals can create visual sparkle in headlines while becoming busy at very small sizes.
