A compact, vertically oriented display serif with heavy stems and sharp, chiseled transitions. Strokes stay largely straight and planar, with angular joins and wedge-like cuts that create a faceted, engraved feel. Terminals often end in forked points or small mid-stem spurs, and counters are tight, giving the letters a dense, emphatic texture. The rhythm is narrow and columnar, while individual characters vary in width enough to keep word shapes distinct.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and logo-style wordmarks where its carved details can be appreciated. It also fits posters, album/cover art, beverage or food packaging, and any application aiming for a historic, Gothic, or heavy-metal-adjacent aesthetic. Use sparingly for longer passages and consider added letterspacing for improved clarity.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a Gothic, old-world flavor that reads as ceremonial and authoritative. Its sharp spurs and pointed terminals add aggression and drama, while the structured verticality suggests tradition and formality.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through dense color and angular, spur-heavy detailing, evoking carved signage and traditional Gothic lettering while remaining structured and upright for strong headline presence.
At text sizes the dense internal spaces and intricate terminals can visually merge, so it benefits from generous tracking and shorter line lengths. The design’s strong vertical stress and repeated dark strokes create a pronounced striped pattern, especially in runs of lowercase with tall stems.
