A decorative serif with tall, narrow proportions and a strongly vertical rhythm. Stems are heavy and emphatic, paired with noticeably lighter connecting strokes, creating a crisp high-contrast texture. Serifs are sharp and rectangular with small spur-like details and occasional triangular notches, giving many forms a carved, chiseled finish. Counters tend toward squarish geometry, and several letters use distinctive cut-ins and stepped terminals that make the silhouette feel constructed rather than calligraphic.
Best suited to display work where its angular detailing can be appreciated: posters, titles, branding marks, labels, and cover typography. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers, especially when set with a bit of added letterspacing to keep the dense rhythm from closing up.
The overall tone feels Gothic and old-world, with a formal, slightly intimidating presence. Its rigid geometry and engraved details suggest ceremony and tradition more than warmth, lending a dramatic, authoritative voice to headlines and nameplates.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke an engraved or architectural feeling through rigid construction, sharp serifs, and cut-in detailing. The intention seems to prioritize a distinctive historical atmosphere and strong impact over neutral text comfort.
The design has a tight internal spacing feel and a strong black-and-white pattern that becomes especially pronounced in all-caps settings. In longer passages the distinctive notches and spurs create a lively texture, but they also raise the visual noise level, so size and tracking will strongly influence readability.
