A tall, tightly set display face with condensed proportions and an even, low-contrast stroke. Forms are built from narrow vertical stems and pinched arches, with frequent pointed terminals and small wedge-like notches that evoke pen-drawn blackletter structure without heavy texture. Curves are restrained and often taper into sharp corners, giving counters a tall, pill-shaped feel in letters like O and Q. Overall spacing is compact and rhythmic, with consistent verticality across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where its condensed height and pointed detailing can be appreciated. It works well for posters, book covers, packaging, and themed branding that aims for a gothic or vintage atmosphere. For longer passages, generous size and spacing help preserve clarity.
The font conveys a gothic, old-world tone that feels ceremonial and slightly eerie. Its narrow, upright stance reads as formal and antiquarian, while the sharpened terminals add a dramatic, crafted personality. The result suggests medieval signage and storybook titles rather than neutral modern text.
The design appears intended to offer a streamlined blackletter-inspired look that stays slender and readable while retaining medieval character. It prioritizes vertical rhythm, sharp terminal details, and a consistent pen-drawn silhouette for distinctive display typography.
Capitals are particularly architectural, relying on elongated stems and simplified blackletter cues rather than dense ornament. Lowercase maintains a strong vertical rhythm, and the numerals follow the same condensed, upright logic for a cohesive set.
