A highly condensed display face with tall, columnar letterforms and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are predominantly monolinear with crisp, tapered terminals and occasional pinched joints that create sharp inner notches. Curves are narrow and controlled, often closing into slim ovals, while many letters show hook-like entries and exits that feel pen-drawn rather than constructed. Spacing appears tight and verticals dominate, producing a sleek, poster-like texture across lines of text.
Best used for short, attention-grabbing text where its condensed proportions and distinctive terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, title treatments, book covers, and branding marks. It can also work for themed packaging or labels where a gothic or vintage flourish is desired, but it is likely most effective at larger sizes rather than long reading passages.
The overall tone feels gothic and dramatic, pairing a refined elegance with an ominous, old-world atmosphere. Its narrow, towering silhouettes and pointed detailing suggest a ceremonial, nocturnal mood suited to dark romance and suspense.
The design appears intended as a dramatic, display-oriented gothic script/blackletter hybrid: emphasizing height, tight rhythm, and pointed calligraphic terminals to create a striking, historic-leaning presence while staying relatively clean and uncluttered.
Uppercase forms read as particularly architectural, with several characters built from paired vertical strokes and minimal cross-structure, which heightens the striped texture at larger sizes. The numerals follow the same tall, narrow logic, maintaining consistent tension and sharp finishing throughout.
