A condensed decorative serif with tall, columnar proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are largely monolinear, with sharp, chiseled terminals and small flared serifs that read like incised cuts rather than bracketed book serifs. Curves are tightened into squared bowls and narrow apertures, giving many letters a slit-like interior space; counters stay compact and vertical. The overall construction is geometric and angular, with pointed joins and crisp corners that keep the texture dark and continuous in text.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed, high-impact texture can work at larger sizes: posters, editorial headlines, cover titling, and branding or wordmarks that benefit from a dramatic, vintage-leaning voice. It can also work on packaging or labels where vertical emphasis and a carved look help differentiate the design.
The font projects a gothic, noir-leaning tone—formal and imposing, with a theatrical edge. Its narrow silhouettes and carved details evoke vintage signage and dramatic titling, creating an assertive, slightly ominous presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a minimal width, combining a strict vertical skeleton with sharp, incised detailing to create a distinctive decorative serif for display use.
In the sample text the dense vertical pattern and tight counters create high visual intensity, especially in long lines. The letterforms maintain consistent, disciplined spacing and a rigid spine, which helps headings feel structured and authoritative but can make extended reading feel heavy.
