A sharp, blackletter-influenced serif with tall, condensed proportions and a largely monoline stroke. Forms are built from straight segments and steep diagonals, with faceted joins and pointed wedge terminals that read as chiseled rather than pen-written. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and many curves are broken into angular planes, giving the alphabet a rigid, architectural rhythm. Uppercase and lowercase share a similar vertical emphasis, with distinctive, stylized constructions that keep texture tight in text.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, headlines, branding marks, and titles where a gothic or historical flavor is desired. It works well for music and entertainment graphics, fantasy or horror themes, and short bursts of text where the dense texture becomes a visual asset.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking medieval lettering, metalwork, and carved inscription aesthetics. Its crisp angles and narrow stance create a dramatic, slightly ominous presence suited to high-contrast, mood-driven typography.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter/inscriptional cues in a cleaner, more geometric and monoline construction, prioritizing a strong silhouette and patterned texture over neutral readability. Its consistent angular vocabulary suggests a focus on cohesive, emblematic display typography.
In text, the condensed spacing and angular detailing create a dense, patterned color; the distinctive shapes remain legible at display sizes but can become busy as sizes shrink. Numerals and capitals match the same faceted, pointed-terminal language for a consistent, decorative set.
