This typeface uses condensed, vertical proportions with a strong, even color on the page. Strokes are mostly straight and upright with moderate thick–thin modulation, and many joins resolve into sharp, forked or spurred terminals rather than soft curves. Serifs are narrow and pointed, often appearing as small wedges or split ends that reinforce the tall, architectural silhouette. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular, creating a rigid rhythm and a distinctly engraved, display-oriented texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines and short-form settings where its tight spacing and distinctive spurred terminals can be appreciated. It can work well for posters, book covers, branding marks, and packaging that want a formal, historic, or gothic flavor. For extended reading, it will be most comfortable when set large with generous tracking and leading.
The overall tone is Gothic and ceremonial, with a stern, old-world formality. Its angular terminals and compressed stance lend a sense of authority and drama, evoking signage, title lettering, and historical print aesthetics rather than casual text typography.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter-inspired structure into a serifed, display form with controlled contrast and highly distinctive forked terminals. Its condensed proportions and repeated ornamental spurs suggest a focus on impact, rhythm, and a recognizable signature in titles and branding.
Repeated stem detailing and mid-height spur accents create a consistent ornamental motif across the alphabet, while the numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction for cohesive headline setting. In longer lines, the dense vertical patterning produces a strong texture that reads as stylized and intentional, especially at larger sizes.
