A high-contrast serif with tall, condensed proportions and a distinctly carved, incised feel. Stems are mostly straight and vertical, with sharp transitions into thin hairlines and bracketed, flared serifs. Many letters show small forked or spurred terminals and mid-stem nicks that add texture and a slightly distressed, engraved rhythm. Curves are taut and narrow, counters stay relatively tight, and the overall color reads dark and crisp at display sizes.
Best suited for display typography where its sharp contrast and ornamental spurs can read clearly: posters, magazine headlines, book covers, and identity work that wants a vintage engraved voice. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, but the dense detailing may feel busy in long small-size text.
The tone is theatrical and old-world, blending editorial refinement with a hint of gothic poster drama. Its spurred details and etched texture give it a vintage, ceremonial character that feels more crafted than neutral.
The design appears intended to evoke engraved or woodcut-inspired letterforms in a condensed, high-impact package, adding personality through forked terminals and subtle stem ornamentation while preserving a disciplined vertical structure for strong headline presence.
The sample text shows the decorative spurs becoming more prominent as size increases, while the condensed widths and strong vertical stress keep lines compact. Numerals and capitals carry the same incised styling, reinforcing a consistent engraved look across the set.
