A compact, vertical display serif with angular, chamfered terminals and distinctive notched cuts that evoke blackletter construction while remaining largely monoline in stroke weight. The silhouettes are blocky and faceted, with squared counters, sharp interior corners, and occasional wedge-like spur details at joins. Spacing is tight and rhythm is strongly vertical, giving words a dense, architectural texture. Uppercase forms feel especially rigid and emblematic, while the lowercase maintains the same chiseled geometry with simplified, sturdy shapes.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings where its dense texture can read as a deliberate stylistic choice—headlines, title treatments, posters, and branding marks. It can also work well on packaging or labels where a traditional or gothic mood is desired, especially at larger sizes with ample contrast against the background.
The font carries a gothic, old-world tone that feels formal and commanding. Its carved, heraldic texture suggests tradition, ceremony, and seriousness, with a dramatic edge suited to bold statements rather than subtle reading.
The letterforms appear designed to translate blackletter-inspired, chiseled detailing into a sturdy, high-impact serif display face. The consistent chamfers and notches prioritize a distinctive, emblematic silhouette and strong presence in headline typography.
The design relies on consistent corner treatments and repeated chamfers to create a cohesive “cut from metal/stone” impression. Numerals match the uppercase’s condensed, faceted style, keeping a uniform, sign-like color across mixed text.
