A condensed serif display face with tall, straight-sided forms and a strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes read largely even in thickness, with pointed, forked terminals and occasional mid-stem spurs that create a sharpened, chiseled silhouette. Curves are tightened and angularized (notably in C, S, and G), while bowls are narrow and upright, giving counters a compressed, column-like appearance. Serifs and terminals tend toward triangular or flared points rather than bracketed, producing a crisp, cut-metal impression across both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, titles, and branding where a narrow footprint and high visual impact are useful. It can work well on posters, labels, packaging, and period-inspired signage, especially when set at larger sizes where the forked terminals and spurs remain clear.
The overall tone is gothic-leaning and theatrical, combining a disciplined, authoritative stance with decorative sharpness. Its narrow proportions and spurred details evoke historic signage and old-world print while staying punchy and assertive in modern display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, attention-grabbing display voice that nods to blackletter and engraved serif traditions. Its consistent stroke weight paired with sharpened terminals prioritizes silhouette and texture, creating a distinctive historical flavor without relying on heavy texture or extreme contrast.
Capital letters carry especially strong vertical emphasis, with distinctive pointed feet and tapered joins that heighten the engraved look. Numerals follow the same condensed construction, maintaining consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings. In longer text, the dense spacing and angular terminals create a dark, rhythmic color best suited to short bursts rather than extended reading.
