A very heavy, right-leaning display face with calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes are strongly tapered with sharp, wedge-like terminals and frequent hooked or beaked finishes, creating a chiseled, engraved rhythm. Letterforms show compact counters and a slightly irregular, hand-cut flow; curves are full and rounded but resolve into crisp points, and joins often form teardrop-like inktraps. The overall texture is dark and assertive, with distinctive swash tendencies in several capitals and numerals.
Best suited to large-format display use such as posters, headlines, logotypes, and packaging where its sharp terminals and bold contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for event titles, branding accents, and short pull quotes that need a gothic, high-impact presence.
The tone reads dramatic and ceremonial, blending a medieval/gothic flavor with a showy, poster-ready energy. It feels vintage and theatrical—designed to signal intensity, tradition, and spectacle rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter-inspired forms through a bold, brush-like italic voice, prioritizing strong silhouette, ornamented terminals, and eye-catching contrast for display typography.
The italic slant and strong contrast create lively word shapes, while the dense weight can close up in smaller settings; the font benefits from generous size and spacing. Numerals follow the same sharpened, tapered logic as the letters, helping maintain a consistent, emphatic texture in headings and short statements.
