A condensed display face built from tall, vertical stems with sharp inside corners and softly flared terminals. Strokes show strong thick–thin contrast, with narrow, ribbon-like joins and slit-like counters that keep many letters tightly enclosed. Curves are minimized into tense, sculpted forms, and several glyphs feature tapered hooks and wedge-like shoulders that create a rhythmic, columnar texture across words. Numerals and capitals maintain the same compressed width and dark, even color, producing a dense, poster-ready silhouette.
Best suited to headlines and short display lines where its condensed width and sculpted contrast can deliver impact. It works well for mastheads, branding marks, posters, and packaging that benefit from a gothic, vintage-inflected voice, and it can add strong character to titles when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The tone is gothic and theatrical, evoking vintage signage, cabaret posters, and old-world editorial mastheads. Its narrow, towering shapes feel commanding and slightly mysterious, with an ornate severity that reads as formal and dramatic rather than casual.
The design appears intended to compress a bold, decorative presence into a narrow footprint while retaining an ornate, historical flavor. Its carved counters, flared terminals, and vertical emphasis suggest a deliberate blend of blackletter-inspired drama with a streamlined, poster-oriented silhouette for high-impact display typography.
In text settings the condensed proportions create a strong vertical cadence; spacing and counters become critical to preserve clarity, especially in letters with internal slits and tight bowls. The design’s distinctive flared ends and angular inner cuts are most noticeable at larger sizes where the contrast and carved details can breathe.
