A condensed display serif with heavy, monoline strokes and sharply flared, wedge-like serifs that feel incised rather than bracketed. The design is built from straight verticals and crisp angles, with rectangular interior counters and frequent slit-like apertures that create a carved, stencil-adjacent impression. Terminals are abrupt and geometric, and many letters show notched joins and stepped transitions that emphasize a rigid, architectural rhythm. Overall spacing is tight and the texture is dense, producing strong, blocky word shapes in all caps and a similarly compact, rigid feel in the lowercase and figures.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, headlines, album or event titling, and brand marks that benefit from a bold, gothic-leaning personality. It can also work well on packaging and labels where a dense, carved display texture is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The font projects a dramatic, old-world tone that reads as gothic and theatrical, with a slightly menacing, poster-like energy. Its chiseled detailing and sharp serifs suggest historical display lettering and ornate titling rather than everyday text.
The design appears intended to evoke carved or engraved display lettering through flared serifs, angular construction, and tight proportions, prioritizing distinctive texture and atmosphere over neutral readability. Its consistent, rigid geometry suggests it was drawn for impactful titling and ornamental emphasis.
Uppercase forms are especially commanding and uniform, while the lowercase mirrors the same angular construction and narrow proportions, keeping the voice consistent across cases. Numerals share the same carved geometry and compact stance, maintaining a cohesive headline texture across mixed-content settings.
