A heavy, compact serif with strongly flared stroke endings that form sharp, wedge-like terminals. The design uses low-contrast, sturdy stems and broad bowls, with crisp notches and inward cuts that create a slightly jagged silhouette at joins and corners. Serifs and terminals feel carved rather than bracketed, giving letters a chiseled rhythm and a dense, poster-ready texture across lines. Numerals follow the same bold, sculpted logic with firm curves and pronounced terminal shaping.
Best suited to display settings where its bold mass and carved terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, title treatments, and branding marks. It also works well for packaging and themed materials that benefit from a gothic or vintage voice, and for short pull quotes or chapter openers where strong word shapes are desirable.
The overall tone is dark and theatrical, evoking gothic and medieval signage with a bold, storybook severity. Its pointed flares and cut-in details add tension and drama, making it feel ceremonial, mysterious, and intentionally stylized rather than neutral.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive flared-serif signature, combining sturdy letterforms with decorative notches to create a dramatic, old-world display texture. Its consistent terminal language suggests an intention to feel chiseled and emblematic, optimized for attention-grabbing titles and branding.
Round letters like O/C/G read as robust and slightly squared by the terminal treatment, while diagonals and joins (such as in K, V, W, and X) emphasize sharp intersections. The texture becomes more decorative as size decreases, where the notched terminals start to act as a repeating pattern along word shapes.
