A condensed serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and sharp, wedge-like terminals that give the outlines a carved, chiseled feel. Stems are sturdy and mostly even in weight, with subtle modulation and frequent pointed notches at joins and corners. The silhouettes are tall and narrow with compact counters, and the caps show strong vertical emphasis and tight internal spacing. Numerals and lowercase follow the same edgy terminal language, keeping a consistent, high-impact texture across text.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and title treatments where its sharp flares and condensed proportions can be appreciated. It can work for themed editorial or book-cover typography—especially gothic, Halloween, or fantasy contexts—while longer passages will look dense and attention-grabbing.
The overall tone is dramatic and slightly ominous, blending gothic cues with a playful, poster-like theatricality. Its spiked terminals and compressed rhythm create a sense of tension and spectacle that reads as vintage and display-driven rather than neutral or contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive gothic-flared voice in a space-saving width, prioritizing dramatic silhouettes and striking terminals for display impact. Its consistent angular terminal system suggests an aim for cohesive, decorative texture across both uppercase and lowercase.
The font’s personality comes primarily from its distinctive flared endings and angular shaping, which create a serrated edge effect in words at larger sizes. In paragraphs, the narrow set and sharp terminals produce a dense, dark typographic color with a strong vertical pulse.
