A condensed decorative serif with an angular, machined construction and crisp chamfered corners. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, while the terminals and serifs are formed as sharp wedges and notches that give each letter a faceted silhouette. Counters are tight and rectangular, rounds are squared off, and the overall rhythm is vertical and compact, producing a strong columnar texture in words and lines. Uppercase forms feel structured and architectural, while the lowercase maintains the same hard-edged language with short, clipped ascenders and compact bowls.
Best suited to display typography where impact and atmosphere matter: poster titles, album or event graphics, mastheads, labels, and bold brand wordmarks. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but its dense texture and tight counters make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font conveys a stern, Old World seriousness with a modern, industrial edge. Its blackletter-adjacent cues and compressed proportions create a dramatic, commanding tone that reads as ceremonial, historic, or authoritative rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display voice that blends gothic/blackletter cues with crisp, engineered geometry for contemporary branding and headline use.
The punctuation and numerals follow the same chiseled, squared-off logic, helping the set stay visually cohesive in display settings. The narrow set width and dense internal spacing create a dark overall color, especially in longer headlines.
