A decorative serif with tall, condensed proportions and sharp, tapered terminals. Strokes feel chiseled and slightly calligraphic, with pointed wedges and knife-like serifs that create a jagged rhythm. Curves are narrow and pulled inward, counters are tight, and many joins end in small spikes or flares, giving the alphabet an irregular, handcrafted texture while remaining consistently vertical in stance.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title sequences, and cover typography where its dramatic silhouette can be appreciated. It can also work for branding marks or packaging that aims for a gothic or vintage-fantasy voice, but is likely too stylized for long reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is gothic and theatrical, evoking dark fantasy and vintage horror poster lettering. Its spiky silhouettes and narrow spacing create tension and intensity, lending a mysterious, archaic flavor even in ordinary sentences.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-drama display serif with a carved, spiked personality—prioritizing atmosphere and distinctiveness over neutrality. Its consistent vertical stance and repeated wedge terminals suggest a deliberate attempt to mimic chiseled or medieval-inspired letterforms in a modern, usable character set.
Uppercase letters read especially statuesque and blade-like, while lowercase forms stay compact with a distinctly short x-height that emphasizes ascenders and descenders. Numerals echo the same pointed, carved treatment, keeping the set visually cohesive.
