A sharp, angular serif design with compact, rectangular counters and frequent mid-stem spurs that create a carved, faceted silhouette. Strokes are heavy and fairly even, with brisk, wedge-like terminals and squared-off joints that emphasize horizontal and vertical construction. Curves are minimized and often resolved into chamfered corners, producing a rigid rhythm in text. The lowercase is relatively large against the capitals, with sturdy verticals, short apertures, and tight interior spaces that read as blocky at small sizes.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, title sequences, album artwork, and fantasy/horror branding where a forceful, archaic voice is desired. It can work for short quotations or pull quotes when given extra size and spacing, but the dense forms and sharp details are most effective in headings and wordmarks rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is gothic and severe, evoking medieval inscriptional lettering and fantasy or metal-adjacent aesthetics. Its spiky details and dense texture feel dramatic and combative rather than refined, giving headlines an emphatic, ceremonial presence.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter and inscriptional cues into a bold, geometric display face, prioritizing impact, texture, and a distinctive spurred silhouette. Its consistent angular construction and minimized curvature suggest an aim for a sturdy, emblematic look that remains recognizable in large-scale use.
In running text the repeated spurs and boxed counters form a strong, patterned texture; spacing appears relatively tight, so the design benefits from generous leading and moderate tracking when set in paragraphs. The numerals follow the same angular, modular logic, matching the caps for a cohesive, emblem-like look.
