A condensed, vertical serif design with a strongly angular, faceted construction. Stems are robust and mostly uniform in thickness, with sharp, forked terminals and small mid-stem spurs that create a carved, chiseled rhythm. Counters are tight and apertures are narrow, giving the letters a dense, upright texture. Curves are minimized in favor of pointed joins and straight-sided bowls, while capitals show tall proportions and emphatic top and bottom endings.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, posters, mastheads, and branding marks where its dense texture and ornate terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for themed packaging and entertainment applications that benefit from a historic or gothic signal, but will be most effective when given ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking medieval and early-print traditions with a stern, authoritative voice. Its spurred details and tight spacing feel dramatic and slightly aggressive, well-suited to designs that want weight, gravity, and historical atmosphere.
The design appears intended to deliver a blackletter-inspired presence in a more structured, typographic format—prioritizing verticality, sharp detailing, and a strong silhouette for display use. The forked terminals and spurs are used as signature motifs to add character without relying on flowing calligraphic strokes.
The lowercase maintains a consistent vertical cadence with compact internal spaces, while capitals read as tall and monument-like. Numerals follow the same condensed, angular logic, reinforcing a cohesive, poster-forward texture when set in lines of text.
