A condensed serif with tall vertical proportions and crisp, forked terminals that form small spurs on many stroke ends. Strokes show moderate contrast with a relatively firm, upright axis and sharp, tapered joins that give the outlines a carved, cut-by-pen feel. Capitals are stately and narrow with pointed feet and wedge-like finishing, while lowercase keeps a compact rhythm with slightly pinched curves and occasional hooked or beaked details. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast structure, maintaining a consistent, dark typographic color when set in text.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, book and album covers, title cards, and branding where a dramatic, vintage voice is desired. It can also work for short pull quotes or labels, especially when generous tracking and line spacing help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking vintage headline lettering, old-world signage, and storybook or horror-adjacent atmospheres. Its spurred, blade-like terminals add drama and a faintly menacing edge without becoming overly ornamental.
The type appears designed to blend traditional serif structure with stylized, spurred terminals, creating a compact, vertical silhouette that stands out in titles. Its consistent sharp finishing and restrained contrast suggest an intent to deliver historical or gothic flavor while remaining structured and readable for prominent text.
The design’s sharp terminals and tight internal spaces create strong vertical emphasis and a distinctive texture in paragraphs, where the forked endings become a repeating motif. It reads most confidently at display sizes where the spurs and tapered details stay clear.
