A tall, tightly spaced display serif with strongly vertical construction and a narrow footprint. Strokes are mostly monolinear, with crisp, incised-looking joins and sharp wedge terminals that read as pointed serifs rather than slabs. Counters are small and compressed, and many forms emphasize straight stems and narrow apertures, giving the alphabet a rigid, architectural rhythm. The overall drawing is clean and consistent, with minimal curvature and pronounced angular details in key letters and numerals.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, and book or album covers where its condensed silhouette and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for branding marks or short wordmarks that benefit from a formal, gothic-leaning presence. Longer passages will generally require generous sizing and spacing to maintain clarity.
The font projects a darkly elegant, old-world drama with a sleek, stylized edge. Its condensed, blade-like terminals and disciplined verticality create a sense of ceremony and intrigue, suggesting gothic mood without fully becoming blackletter. The tone feels theatrical and slightly ominous, suitable for titles that want gravity and atmosphere.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact serif voice with an ornamental, gothic-inspired flavor while remaining structurally controlled and upright. It prioritizes vertical rhythm, dramatic terminals, and an engraved feel to create a distinctive display texture for titling and branding.
In the sample text, the strong vertical emphasis and tight internal spaces make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the pointed terminals and narrow counters remain clear. The distinctive zig and notch motifs in several characters add personality and help signal a decorative intent, especially in headlines.
