A condensed, decorative serif with tall proportions and tightly drawn bowls and counters. Strokes are mostly straight and vertical, with pointed, wedge-like terminals and serifs that create a chiseled silhouette. Curves are restrained and often finish in sharp hooks, giving letters like C, S, and G a clipped, angular feel. The lowercase keeps a compact, upright rhythm with narrow apertures and sturdy vertical stems, and the numerals match the same tall, compressed stance for consistent texture in lines of text.
This font is best suited to headlines and short display copy where its condensed, angular detailing can be appreciated. It works well for posters, book and album covers, mastheads, and brand marks that want a gothic or vintage edge. For longer passages, it will be most effective in brief sections such as pull quotes or chapter openers where dense texture and strong vertical rhythm are desirable.
The overall tone reads gothic and old-world, evoking poster lettering and historical display printing rather than neutral text typography. Its sharp terminals and dark, vertical emphasis feel ceremonial and slightly ominous, lending a dramatic, storybook or occult-adjacent atmosphere. The condensed build adds urgency and authority, making it feel formal and declarative.
The design appears intended as a characterful display serif that borrows from blackletter and engraved-letter traditions while remaining readable in mixed case. Its narrow proportions and sharp wedge terminals suggest a focus on making compact, high-impact lines with a historic, theatrical voice.
At display sizes the distinctive wedge terminals and narrow internal spaces create strong patterning and a dense color on the page. The design’s personality comes from repeated pointed joins and hooked finishing strokes, which give even simple words a stylized, emblematic presence.
