A compact, vertical serif design with pronounced stroke contrast and a distinctly angular, cut-from-metal silhouette. Stems are straight and weighty while joins and shoulders taper quickly, creating sharp internal counters and crisp rhythm. Serifs and terminals are strongly spurred and often forked, with small outward flares and notched connections that give the outlines a carved, ornamental edge. Curves are restrained and slightly faceted rather than round, and the overall texture reads dark and tightly packed, especially in longer lines.
Best suited for display typography where a historic, decorative voice is desired—posters, headlines, mastheads, labels, and shop or event signage. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the dense texture and sharp detailing favor larger sizes and generous spacing over extended body copy.
The font conveys a Gothic, old-world authority with a decorative, ceremonial tone. Its spurred terminals and compressed proportions evoke historical print, signage, and heraldic aesthetics, producing a dramatic, slightly theatrical presence. The overall feel is assertive and traditional rather than casual or modern.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with blackletter-adjacent ornamentation, emphasizing spurred terminals, compressed verticality, and a dark typographic color. Its consistent detailing suggests a focus on characterful display use and strong visual branding rather than neutrality.
Uppercase forms are dominant and sculptural, with distinctive spur details that remain visible even at moderate sizes. Lowercase maintains the same angular logic, producing a consistent, dense color in text. Numerals follow the same narrow, ornamented construction, aligning well with the caps for display settings.
