A tall, condensed display serif with a strongly rectilinear construction and crisp, chiseled terminals. Strokes stay largely uniform in weight, but end in sharp wedge-like feet and pointed caps that create a faceted, metal-cut feel. Counters are narrow and often squared-off, and curves are minimized in favor of straight segments and hard corners, giving the alphabet a disciplined, architectural rhythm. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s angular logic, with narrow bowls and compact joins that keep texture tight and vertical.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its sharp detailing can be appreciated: posters, title cards, album/film branding, game or fantasy-themed UI headings, and distinctive logotypes. It can also work for packaging or labels that want an engraved, old-world voice, but will feel busy at small sizes or in long paragraphs.
The overall tone is dramatic and ceremonial, evoking a medieval-to-occult atmosphere with a controlled, almost engraved severity. Its sharp terminals and narrow proportions suggest authority and mystique rather than warmth, reading as formal, theatrical, and slightly ominous.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter or engraved sign-painting energy into a cleaner, more geometric serif system. It prioritizes a striking silhouette and a consistent, vertical texture, aiming for legibility in display sizes while retaining a ritual, decorative edge.
The font builds a strong vertical cadence: letters like M, N, W, and V emphasize pointed joins, while round forms (O, Q, 0) appear squarish and constrained. Numerals follow the same faceted geometry, with distinctive, angular silhouettes that lean toward display use. Spacing in the sample text forms a dense, patterned color that looks deliberate and ornamental.
