A compact, blackletter-influenced serif with tall proportions and a crisp, faceted silhouette. Strokes are predominantly straight with sharp corners and wedge-like terminals, producing pointed serifs and narrow apertures. Curves (notably in C, O, and S) are drawn with angular modulation rather than round geometry, giving the forms a cut-from-metal feel. Uppercase letters read as structured and vertical, while lowercase forms remain similarly narrow with tight counters and a slightly calligraphic rhythm.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, titles, and branding where the sharp, historical flavor can be appreciated at larger sizes. It works well for fantasy, gothic, or heritage-themed packaging and book covers, and can be effective for short pull quotes or chapter headings when generous tracking and leading are used.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking medieval inscriptions, heraldry, and fantasy world-building. Its sharp edges and tense spacing add drama and a slightly ominous, archaic character that feels more theatrical than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a medieval/blackletter impression using a serif framework, emphasizing angular construction, pointed terminals, and a dense, authoritative texture. It prioritizes atmosphere and iconic lettershapes over extended-text comfort.
Numerals and capitals share the same pointed, chiseled language, helping headings and short lines hold together as a cohesive texture. The design favors strong silhouettes over open readability, especially in smaller sizes or dense paragraphs where tight counters can darken the color.
