A tall, condensed display face built from sharp, rectilinear outlines with an internal inline that creates a carved, hollowed look. Strokes behave like faceted slabs—thick verticals paired with hairline connections—producing a distinctly high-contrast rhythm. Terminals are crisp and often wedge-like, with occasional small spur forms that add bite to corners and joints. Counters are narrow and geometric, and the overall construction feels engineered and architectural rather than calligraphic.
Best suited to display settings where its carved outline detail can be appreciated—posters, headlines, wordmarks, and packaging or label design. It works well for short phrases, title cards, and stylized branding where a gothic or vintage-sign aesthetic is desired, and should be used with generous size and spacing for clarity.
The font reads as gothic and ceremonial, with a dramatic, poster-like presence. Its prismatic, chiseled detailing suggests vintage signage and theatrical titling, leaning dark, intense, and slightly menacing while still feeling formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a striking, chiseled outline look that combines blackletter-like attitude with a more geometric, constructed framework. Its inline hollowing and sharp terminals aim to maximize drama and texture for attention-grabbing titling.
In the sample text, the hollow outline and inline detailing create strong texture, but the dense internal lines can visually merge at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals carry the strongest personality, with a consistent angular motif across the set.
