A condensed, heavy text face with a blackletter-leaning silhouette and softened, wedge-like terminals. Stems are thick and vertical, while curves (notably in C, O, and e) are tightened into compact bowls, creating a dense, rhythmic texture. Joins and corners often resolve into sharp points or small beaks, and several letters show distinctive chiseled notches and angled shoulders, giving the design a carved, calligraphic feel despite its largely straight-sided construction. Numerals follow the same stout, tapered logic, with strong vertical emphasis and small internal apertures.
Best suited to display sizes where its sharp terminals and compact bowls can read clearly—such as headlines, posters, mastheads, and packaging or branding that benefits from a historic or dramatic voice. It can also work for short editorial callouts or chapter openers, but its dense color suggests using it sparingly in extended text.
The overall tone is dark, formal, and slightly medieval, evoking old-world print, proclamations, and dramatic headlines. Its tight spacing and emphatic weight project authority and intensity more than neutrality or friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact texture with a nod to blackletter and engraved signage, balancing rigid vertical structure with calligraphic wedges and beaks for character. It prioritizes presence and atmosphere over quiet readability.
In longer lines the font forms a strong, continuous black band, with pronounced vertical rhythm and relatively small counters. The lowercase is especially compact and energetic, with pointed hooks on letters like a, s, and t that add bite and movement.
