A tightly condensed decorative serif with heavy, low-contrast strokes and an emphatically vertical construction. Forms are built from straight segments and sharp corners, with wedge-like, spur serifs and pointed terminals that create a chiseled silhouette. Counters tend to be small and rectangular, and joins often resolve into angular notches rather than smooth curves. Overall spacing is compact and rhythmic, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text.
Best used for short, prominent settings where its condensed width and spiky detailing can read clearly—posters, mastheads, logotypes, game/film titles, packaging labels, and certificate-style or editorial display lines. In longer paragraphs it will produce a dense, dark texture, so larger sizes and generous leading help preserve legibility.
The letterforms evoke a Gothic/blackletter-adjacent tone—stern, ceremonial, and a bit menacing. Its sharp wedges and compact proportions give it an authoritative, old-world voice suited to dramatic or heritage-minded messaging.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display serif that borrows blackletter energy while staying in a more rigid, engraved, all-straight-lines construction. Its goal is to deliver a historic, authoritative mood with strong vertical emphasis and distinctive pointed finishing.
Uppercase characters read especially architectural, while the lowercase maintains the same vertical, faceted logic, keeping the color consistent across mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same angular, cut-in shapes, reinforcing the engraved, sign-painter-like presence.
