A decorative serif with a strongly angular, chiseled construction and crisp, pointed terminals. Strokes are mostly straight and vertical with abrupt joins, producing a faceted, engraved look; curves are minimized or squared off into polygonal forms. Serifs read as sharp wedges and spurs rather than soft brackets, and many letters show stepped horizontals and triangular notches that create a mechanical, cut-metal rhythm. Counters tend to be narrow and rectangular, with compact apertures and tight internal spacing that increases density in words.
Best suited to display settings such as logotypes, posters, album/film/game titles, and packaging where a gothic or ceremonial atmosphere is desired. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers, particularly when ample tracking and leading are available to prevent the dense interior shapes from filling in.
The overall tone is medieval and gothic, suggesting heraldry, dark fantasy, and dramatic display typography. Its sharp spurs and rigid geometry evoke inscriptions, occult signage, and a slightly menacing, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter and inscriptional cues through a rigid, geometric lens, prioritizing a striking silhouette and ornate spurs over text-face neutrality. Its detailing aims to deliver immediate thematic impact and a historically flavored, dramatic presence.
In the text sample the heavy silhouette and tight counters make it feel most at home at larger sizes, where the notches and wedge details stay distinct. The digit set follows the same angular, architectural logic, keeping the texture consistent across alphanumerics.
