A compact, heavy display face built from straight verticals and broad, rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes stay largely even in weight, with frequent chamfered or clipped corners that create crisp facets at joins and terminals. Round letters (O, C, G, Q, 0, 8, 9) read as tall superelliptical bowls with a narrowed interior, while horizontals are short and assertive, reinforcing a condensed rhythm. The lowercase echoes the same architecture with tight counters and pointed, notched details on letters like a, m, n, and t, giving the texture a dense, patterned feel in text.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where texture and presence matter: headlines, title cards, posters, and branding marks that want a historic or gothic edge. It can also work on labels and packaging where a dense, authoritative voice helps the typography carry the design.
The overall tone leans gothic and old-world, with a poster-like intensity and a faint blackletter flavor without becoming fully calligraphic. Its rigid verticality and faceted terminals convey authority and tradition, making it feel ceremonial and slightly ominous. The condensed rhythm adds urgency and punch, especially in headlines.
The font appears designed to blend superelliptical rounding with chiseled, angular terminals to evoke a historic, gothic atmosphere in a highly compact footprint. Its consistent stroke weight and condensed proportions suggest an emphasis on strong silhouette and legibility at display sizes rather than delicate detail.
The design maintains consistent visual rules across cases—rounded outer forms paired with angular cuts—so mixed-case setting stays cohesive. Numerals share the same narrow, sturdy construction; the 1 is particularly vertical and architectural, while 2 and 3 emphasize squared turns and clipped corners.
