A condensed display face built from straight, vertical stems and sharp, faceted joins. Terminals are consistently clipped into small chamfers and pointed spurs, giving many strokes a chiseled, almost engraved look. Curves are minimized or flattened into polygonal forms (notably in C, G, O, and S), while counters stay tight and vertical. The rhythm is rigid and columnar, with strong vertical emphasis and crisp internal corners that keep the texture dark and uniform at headline sizes.
Best suited for large-scale use where its faceted corners and tight counters can read cleanly—posters, headlines, cover art, and logotypes. It can also work for labels and packaging that want a vintage-gothic or theatrical edge, especially when set with generous tracking and ample contrast against the background.
The overall tone is dramatic and old-world, evoking gothic signage, pulp-era headlines, and a slightly ominous, theatrical flair. Its angular cuts and spurs lend a staged, costume-like personality—more expressive than traditional text blackletter, but still rooted in historic letterform cues.
The design appears intended to blend blackletter-inspired structure with a more geometric, cut-paper or engraved treatment, prioritizing strong vertical presence and an immediately recognizable silhouette. The consistent chamfers and spurs suggest an aim for impactful, characterful display typography rather than neutral reading text.
Distinctive pointed descenders and spur-like feet appear on several letters (such as J, Q, and y), adding quirky personality and helping differentiate similar shapes in such a tight, vertical design. Numerals follow the same faceted, condensed construction, maintaining a consistent poster-texture across mixed typography.
