A decorative serif with a strongly angular, faceted construction and pronounced spurs. Strokes resolve into sharp wedge-like terminals and notched corners, creating a chiseled, engraved feel rather than smooth curves. Counters are relatively narrow and rectangular, and joins often form hard, pointed interior angles. The rhythm is compact and emphatic, with sturdy verticals and crisp diagonals; lowercase forms echo the same broken-curve geometry and include distinctive diamond-like dots on i/j.
Best suited to short display settings where the angular details can be appreciated: posters, headlines, branding marks, album or game titles, and packaging with a historic or gothic theme. It can work for pull quotes or short blocks, but the dense texture and narrow counters make it more effective at larger sizes than for extended reading.
The overall tone is gothic and heraldic, evoking signage, crests, and historical display lettering. Its sharp cuts and heavy color give it a forceful, dramatic presence that reads as ceremonial and slightly menacing when set in blocks of text.
The design appears intended to reinterpret gothic/blackletter cues through a modern, modular serif structure—using sharp wedges, spurs, and rectangular counters to create a bold, ornamental voice for attention-grabbing display typography.
Several glyphs show deliberately stylized construction (notably the pointed arches and split strokes in forms like M/W and the spur-heavy diagonals in K/R), prioritizing character over neutrality. The numerals share the same angular, notched vocabulary, helping headings and set-piece lines stay visually consistent across letters and figures.
