A condensed, vertically emphasized display serif with hard, angular construction and frequent chamfered corners. Strokes read largely even in thickness, but terminals are shaped into sharp wedges and small triangular spurs that create a faceted, cut-metal feel. Curves are minimized in favor of squared bowls and clipped joins, giving counters a rectangular, architectural geometry. The overall rhythm is tight and consistent, with pronounced vertical stems and compact sidebearings that keep words dense and blocky.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, title treatments, branding marks, and packaging where its dense texture and pointed detailing can read as intentional character. It works well when set at larger sizes or with generous tracking to prevent the interior corners and wedge terminals from crowding.
The letterforms evoke a gothic, medieval tone with a stern, ceremonial presence. Its sharp terminals and compressed texture suggest authority and intensity, leaning toward a historic, engraved aesthetic rather than a casual or friendly voice.
Designed to deliver a compact, highly stylized serif voice that references blackletter and inscriptional forms while remaining structured and repeatable across an alphanumeric set. The emphasis appears to be on strong silhouette and thematic atmosphere over neutral, long-form readability.
Uppercase forms are especially rigid and monumental, while the lowercase maintains the same angular vocabulary, producing a uniform, poster-like texture across mixed-case text. Numerals follow the same squared, beveled construction, matching the typeface’s carved, emblematic character.
