This typeface uses heavy, compact letterforms with strongly flared, wedge-like serifs and sharply tapered terminals. Strokes show a noticeable but controlled contrast, with pinched joins and occasional beak-like hooks that create a carved, chiseled silhouette. The caps are tall and imposing, while the lowercase remains sturdy with rounded bowls and slightly irregular, organic edge shaping. Numerals are similarly weighty and stylized, with angled cuts and pronounced endings that keep the set visually consistent.
Best suited to display settings where its bold silhouette and decorative serifs can be appreciated—headlines, posters, titles, packaging, and branding marks. It also works well for genre-forward applications like gothic, fantasy, or retro-themed cover design and event promotion, where expressive texture is a benefit.
The overall tone is gothic and theatrical, leaning toward a vintage, poster-era sensibility rather than strict text typography. Its sharp terminals and sculpted contours evoke a dramatic, slightly mysterious mood that reads as classic, ornamental, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a stylized serif voice—combining compact proportions, carved-looking terminals, and a consistent ornamental rhythm for distinctive title typography.
Spacing and internal counters appear relatively tight, which amplifies the dense color on the page. Several characters feature distinctive angled cuts and asymmetric flares that add personality and motion, especially in the curves and diagonals.
