A tightly condensed, vertical display face with sharp, chiseled geometry and pronounced stroke modulation. Stems are heavy and straight, while joins and terminals break into pointed wedges and forked spurs that create a serrated silhouette. Counters are narrow and often rectangular, with frequent notches and interior cuts that reinforce an engraved, woodcut-like construction. Uppercase and lowercase share a rigid, upright rhythm, and the figures match the same angular, high-impact structure for consistent texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where the dense texture and spurred details can be appreciated—posters, headlines, album/film titles, brand marks, labels, and signage. It performs particularly well at medium-to-large sizes where the angular cuts and narrow counters remain clear.
The tone is assertive and historical, evoking gothic signage, heraldry, and frontier-era poster lettering. Its spurred terminals and carved details read as ceremonial and forceful, with a slightly menacing, heavy-metal edge that feels more theatrical than polite.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, combining serifed structure with forked ornamental spurs to suggest carved or printed lettering traditions. The consistent angular vocabulary across letters and numerals points to a purpose-built display face for bold, thematic typography rather than neutral reading text.
In continuous text the dense vertical strokes produce a dark color and strong patterning, while the many sharp corners and interior cuts add sparkle at larger sizes. The lowercase is highly stylized and close in presence to the uppercase, so case mixing feels deliberate and poster-like rather than conversational.
