A decorative serif with a compact, vertical build and heavy, sculpted strokes. Forms are strongly angular with chiseled corners and small wedge-like terminals that read as simplified blackletter or inscriptional cuts rather than soft bracketed serifs. Curves are tightened into faceted arcs, counters are relatively small, and joins stay crisp, giving the alphabet a carved, poster-ready silhouette. The lowercase keeps a sturdy, upright rhythm with a single-storey a and g, a narrow r, and a short-armed t, maintaining a consistent, blocky texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where its carved, angular details can read clearly at larger sizes. It can also work well for brand marks, event titling, and packaging that aims for a vintage, gothic, or heritage atmosphere.
The overall tone is gothic and old-world, with a punchy, display-forward presence that also nods to Western and heritage signage. Its sharp bevels and compact proportions feel assertive and ceremonial, lending a traditional, slightly theatrical flavor to headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, historically flavored display voice by blending blackletter-like structure with simplified, chiseled serif terminals. It prioritizes strong silhouette, compact rhythm, and distinctive capitals for impactful titling.
In the sample text, the dense color and tight interior spaces create a strong horizontal texture, while the distinctive, faceted capitals add personality at word starts. Numerals follow the same carved, angular logic and appear designed to match display settings rather than quiet text use.
