What defines dark fantasy?

Is it just elves that wear black or is there more to it? Maybe a mood or setting? Maybe it's an antihero thing? Im curious as to what it means and what some of the defining/seminal works of dark fantasy might be.

There are foundations of brutality in Mageborn, but they are built in Embers. I can't think of any other series where I've liked the prequel so much more than the source material.
