A compact, right-slanted display serif with heavy strokes and a tightly packed footprint. Letterforms are built from angular, chiseled geometry with frequent spur-like projections and forked terminals that create sharp interior notches and wedge-shaped endings. Counters tend to be small and polygonal, and the joins often form pointed intersections rather than smooth curves, producing a crisp, cut-metal rhythm across words. The overall color is dense and even, with minimal modulation and consistent, sculpted detailing on stems and diagonals.
Best suited to headlines, titling, posters, and logo wordmarks where the sharp terminals and dense texture can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging, labels, and event branding that benefit from a vintage or gothic edge. For extended reading or small sizes, the compact counters and strong detailing may feel visually busy, so it performs best when given space and scale.
The tone is forceful and theatrical, evoking a gothic, old-world flavor without fully committing to traditional blackletter texture. Its aggressive angles and spurred terminals feel ceremonial and emphatic, lending a sense of drama and toughness to headlines and short phrases.
The design appears intended to deliver an emphatic, characterful display voice by combining bold, condensed proportions with ornate spurs and forked endings. Its geometry suggests a carved or cut aesthetic aimed at strong impact and distinctive branding presence rather than neutrality.
The distinctive forked and mid-stem spurs are prominent enough to read as part of the letter skeleton rather than incidental decoration, helping maintain recognizability at larger sizes while giving the font a signature bite. The slanted construction and narrow set amplify forward motion, and the numerals follow the same carved, angular logic for a cohesive display palette.
