A decorative serif with a blackletter-inflected construction: tall, condensed proportions; straight, vertical stems; and angular joins that create faceted, chiseled silhouettes. Serifs are sharp and spurred, often forming small triangular feet and pointed terminals rather than soft brackets. Counters are tight and rectangular, and many curves are reduced to hard corners, giving letters a rigid, architectural rhythm. The overall texture is dark and insistent, with consistent stem heft and prominent, geometric punctuation and numerals that match the same sharp-edged logic.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, game or film titling, album artwork, and branding where a gothic or medieval atmosphere is desired. It can work well for short headlines, wordmarks, and packaging accents, especially when set with generous tracking and strong contrast against the background.
The face projects a gothic, ceremonial tone—dramatic, slightly ominous, and steeped in medieval and occult associations. Its hard angles and spurred terminals feel emphatic and authoritative, lending a theatrical, poster-like presence even at moderate sizes.
The design appears intended to modernize blackletter and gothic cues into a crisp, high-impact display serif, prioritizing sharp geometry and a strong vertical cadence for attention-grabbing titles and thematic branding.
The alphabet shows deliberate stylization in several forms (notably angular bowls and pointed shoulders), which increases character but also makes long passages feel dense. The spacing and narrow proportions create a compressed color on the page, so contrast and size become important for clarity.
