A compact serif with a narrow overall stance and lively, calligraphic modeling. Strokes show moderate contrast and frequent flaring into sharp, forked serifs and spurs, giving many terminals a hooked or barbed finish. Counters are relatively tight and vertical rhythm is pronounced, with a consistent upright axis and crisp joins that keep the texture dark and continuous. Capitals feel carved and formal, while lowercase forms add distinctive spur details that create a slightly irregular, hand-influenced surface without losing coherence.
Well-suited to display settings where atmosphere matters: book covers, chapter titles, posters, album art, and themed branding. It can also work for short editorial headings or pull quotes when you want a dark, traditional texture, but its ornamental terminals make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The font conveys an old-world, gothic-leaning tone that feels ceremonial and slightly ominous. Its pointed terminals and decorative spur behavior suggest fantasy, folklore, and historical settings, while the steady upright rhythm keeps it readable enough to remain editorial rather than purely display.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with expressive, forked terminals to add character and period flavor. It aims for a theatrical, gothic-tinged voice that stands out in titles while still retaining a disciplined, upright serif framework.
In text, the dense spacing and frequent pointed terminals create a sparkling, edgy texture—especially around letters with vertical stems and curved entries. Numerals echo the same sharp, flared finishing, helping headlines and titling maintain a unified voice across letters and figures.
