A condensed decorative serif with tall proportions and a tightly controlled rhythm. Letterforms are built from mostly straight strokes and crisp angles, with small wedge-like serifs and chamfered corners that create a subtle carved or beveled impression. Curves are minimized and often polygonal, giving rounded characters a faceted silhouette; counters tend to be compact and rectangular. The lowercase follows the same narrow, vertical construction, with a blocky single-storey “a” and similarly squared terminals, maintaining strong consistency across letters and numerals.
Best used for display typography such as posters, headlines, branding wordmarks, and packaging where a strong condensed presence is needed. It also fits labels, signage, and themed collateral that benefits from a vintage or Gothic-tinged voice; for longer passages, generous size and spacing will help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is Gothic-leaning and old-world without becoming fully blackletter, mixing historic sign-painting energy with a stern, industrial firmness. Its dense, vertical texture feels commanding and ceremonial, suited to statements that should read as bold and formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compressed width while retaining a serif identity through sharp wedge terminals and a chiseled, faceted construction. It prioritizes a distinctive historical-meets-industrial texture for attention-grabbing display settings.
The font’s tight apertures and sharp joins create a dark, continuous color in text, which amplifies impact at display sizes. The forms stay highly vertical, with distinctive notched and wedge terminals that help keep shapes legible despite the narrow build.
