A decorative serif with tall, narrow proportions and sharp, calligraphic modulation. Strokes move from hairline-thin to bold black with abrupt transitions, producing a crisp, high-drama texture. Serifs are stylized into wedge-like, blade points and flared terminals rather than classic bracketed forms, and many curves pinch into teardrop counters or hooked joins. The rhythm is slightly irregular by design—especially in diagonals and bowls—giving the alphabet a carved, hand-cut feel while maintaining consistent vertical stress and a clean upright stance.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, and titles where its sharp serifs and high-contrast strokes can be appreciated. It can work well for book covers, album art, event materials, or branding that aims for a gothic, artisanal, or fantasy-leaning voice, and for short quotes or pull lines where texture is desired over neutrality.
The overall tone is gothic and theatrical, evoking dark fantasy, old-world proclamations, and ceremonial lettering. Its spiky terminals and inky blacks suggest mystery and intensity more than everyday readability, making it feel assertive and story-driven.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through a highly stylized, calligraphic lens—prioritizing distinctive silhouettes, pointed terminals, and dramatic contrast to achieve an ornate, atmospheric display voice.
In text, the face creates strong silhouettes and distinctive word shapes, with numerals and capitals carrying especially decorative, emblem-like forms. The contrast and pointed detailing make spacing and size choices important; it reads best when given room to breathe and when the sharp terminals can resolve cleanly.
