A condensed decorative serif with tall proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes show pronounced contrast, with thick main stems and sharply thinned joins and inner curves. Serifs are stylized into forked, spurred terminals and bracket-like feet, and many letters carry mid-stem notches or inward cuts that create a chiseled, engraved feel. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are narrow, while the overall silhouette remains crisp and upright with consistent, disciplined spacing for a display face.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, mastheads, chapter titles, and dramatic headlines where its spurred detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for branding marks, labels, and packaging seeking a historic or gothic flavor, especially when set with generous size and controlled tracking.
The font projects a gothic, Victorian-era authority—ornamental without becoming chaotic. Its pointed terminals, spurs, and engraved texture give it a ceremonial, slightly ominous tone that reads as historical, theatrical, and emphatic.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional gothic/engraved letterforms into a compact, high-impact display style. Its forked terminals and mid-stem spurs add a distinctive texture meant to signal heritage and authority while remaining legible in bold, attention-grabbing settings.
In the text sample, the condensed width and tight interior spaces make the face feel dense and punchy, favoring short lines and larger sizes. Numerals follow the same spurred, carved construction and maintain a strong baseline presence, reinforcing a poster-oriented, headline character.
