A tightly condensed display serif with tall proportions, sturdy vertical stems, and sharp, triangular wedge serifs that flare at the ends. The forms feel largely built from straight strokes and crisp angles, with sparing curves and abrupt joins that create a chiseled silhouette. Counters are narrow and often slit-like, and many letters show pointed notches and horn-like terminals that emphasize verticality. Numerals follow the same condensed, flared construction, with compact bowls and strong, sculpted entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, logotypes, and packaging where a compressed, high-impact word shape is desired. It can also work for period-leaning signage or dramatic editorial callouts, particularly when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, with a stern, poster-like presence that reads as historic and theatrical rather than neutral. Its aggressive wedges and compressed rhythm add a sense of urgency and gravity, evoking broadsides, fantasy titling, or old-world signage.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while projecting a distinctive, old-world personality. The flared, wedge-like terminals and angular construction suggest a deliberate nod to gothic/antique display lettering optimized for bold titling rather than long-form reading.
In running text the dense spacing and narrow counters make the texture very dark, so the font’s strongest moments are in short lines and larger sizes where the distinctive wedge serifs and angular construction can be appreciated. Uppercase characters appear especially dominant, while the lowercase maintains the same rigid, vertical emphasis for a consistent headline color.
