A decorative serif with tall, condensed proportions and a distinctly angular, constructed feel. Strokes stay relatively even in weight, with sharp joins and crisp corners that create a slightly “chiseled” silhouette rather than a calligraphic one. Serifs are small but pronounced and often wedge-like, with occasional pointed terminals and squared-off interior counters that give many letters a narrow, architectural rhythm. The texture is strongly vertical, with tight apertures and compact spacing tendencies that emphasize a dark, patterned word shape in setting.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, title cards, and cover typography where its angular serifs and condensed stance can define the voice. It can work for branding and packaging that wants a gothic or arcane edge, and for entertainment contexts like game titles or fictional-world ephemera. For longer passages, it will typically read more comfortably at larger sizes with extra spacing.
The overall tone is gothic and enigmatic, evoking inscriptional and fantasy-leaning references more than classic book typography. Its sharp geometry and austere verticality suggest a ceremonial, arcane mood—dramatic without feeling ornate or flourished.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, medieval-meets-geometric serif flavor: compact, vertical, and sharp-edged, prioritizing atmosphere and silhouette over conventional text neutrality. It aims to provide a recognizable title-face personality that remains structured and consistent across the alphabet and numerals.
Several forms lean toward squared bowls and rectilinear counters, producing a slightly mechanical, display-driven consistency. In mixed-case text, the lowercase maintains a rigid, upright posture and can read as stylized, so it benefits from generous tracking and larger sizes.
