A condensed, all-cap–friendly serif with a strong vertical emphasis and crisp, chamfered terminals. Stems are heavy and fairly consistent, with moderate contrast introduced through tapered joins and angled cuts rather than smooth curves. Serifs read as clipped, wedge-like projections, and many forms use octagonal or notched corners that create a faceted, engraved silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and squarish, while diagonals (V, W, X) are sturdy and sharply intersected, keeping the rhythm compact and high-impact across lines of text.
This font is well suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, editorial mastheads, album or event graphics, and branded packaging that benefits from a historic or gothic edge. It can also work for signage and labels where a compact, forceful presence is needed, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is gothic and old-world, with a poster-like authority that feels formal, assertive, and slightly ominous. Its angular cuts and carved details evoke signage, mastheads, and heritage branding where a sense of tradition and forcefulness is desirable.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-contrast-in-spirit display serif that channels blackletter-inspired energy through modern, geometric chamfers. The consistent faceting and notched terminals suggest an aim for an engraved or cut-letter look that remains bold and legible in short, impactful phrases.
Uppercase and lowercase share a closely related construction, with the lowercase maintaining the same condensed, chamfered logic rather than adopting softer bookish forms. Numerals follow the same faceted treatment, producing a cohesive texture in headings and short numeric strings. Spacing and dense counters make it most comfortable at display sizes, where the cut details remain clear.
