A compact, display-oriented serif with chiseled geometry and pronounced flared endings. Stems and arms expand into sharp triangular terminals, giving many letters a wedge-cut silhouette and a crisp, carved rhythm. The forms balance robust verticals with rounded bowls, while diagonals and joins tend to be angular and tightly drawn, producing dense, sturdy word shapes. Counters are relatively small and the overall texture is dark and emphatic, with a distinctly sculpted edge rather than smooth bracketed serifs.
Best suited to headlines and short passages where its dark color and angular flares can be appreciated—titles, chapter headers, posters, and packaging with a historical or fantasy tone. It can also work for logo wordmarks that need a strong, carved presence, but will feel heavy and busy in small sizes or long body text.
The tone feels medieval and ceremonial, evoking inscriptions, heraldry, and classic fantasy publishing. Its sharp, faceted terminals add drama and authority, while the rounded bowls keep it approachable enough for narrative or thematic display settings. Overall it reads as traditional, theatrical, and slightly gothic without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to translate a carved or pen-cut, inscriptional serif feel into a strong display face, emphasizing wedge-shaped terminals and a compact, authoritative rhythm. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and period atmosphere over neutrality, aiming for high-impact typographic voice in titles and thematic branding.
Uppercase characters show strong wedge feet and cap terminals that create a spiky silhouette at line edges. Lowercase maintains the same carved logic with pointed entry/exit strokes and compact counters, and the numerals follow the same angular, calligraphic-cut flavor for a consistent set.
