A sharply angled, serifed display face with a consistent forward slant and chiseled, faceted contours. Strokes are heavy and largely even, with abrupt terminals and prominent triangular spurs that read as cut-in wedges rather than smooth bracketed serifs. Counters tend to be tight and polygonal, and joins form crisp corners that create a jagged rhythm across words. Uppercase forms are compact and assertive, while the lowercase keeps a fairly standard x-height but carries the same hooked, blade-like finishing throughout, producing a distinctly constructed, decorative texture in text.
Best used at medium to large sizes where the angular detailing and spurred terminals can be appreciated. It works well for headlines, posters, title treatments, and branding marks that need a dramatic, gothic-leaning display voice; it can also support short bursts of text in themed designs when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is gothic and theatrical, suggesting a dramatic, slightly ominous vintage sensibility. Its sharp spurs and slanted momentum give it an energetic, aggressive edge that feels suited to fantasy, metal, or pulp-inspired styling without relying on dense blackletter complexity.
The design appears intended to reinterpret serif forms through a carved, blade-like construction, combining a slanted, high-energy stance with decorative spurs for maximum impact. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and texture over neutral readability, aiming to give titles and branding a bold, stylized identity.
In the sample text, the dense pattern of angled terminals and narrow internal spaces builds a strong horizontal sweep, with emphasis on sharp diagonals and pointed feet. The numerals match the same cut, wedge-based construction, reinforcing the cohesive display character across alphanumerics.
