A condensed serif display face with sharp, flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that often taper to points. Strokes are largely monolinear, with only subtle modulation, and the forms emphasize verticality through tall stems and narrow counters. Many joins and terminals appear beveled or chamfered, giving letters a carved, chiseled feel; curves are tightened and squared-off in places (notably in C/G/S and rounded letters), producing a slightly mechanical rhythm. Lowercase includes several high-contrast silhouette moments from pointed feet and horned tops, while figures are compact, upright, and stylistically aligned with the angular serif treatment.
Best suited to display sizes where the angular serifs and chamfered details can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book or album covers, mastheads, and branding that wants a historical or gothic-tinged voice. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or packaging copy when a strong, stylized texture is desired over neutral readability.
The overall tone reads as gothic-leaning and vintage, mixing old-world signage energy with a theatrical, slightly ominous edge. The spurred terminals and narrow proportions evoke historical or fantasy cues without becoming fully blackletter, making it feel dramatic and story-forward.
Likely designed to provide a distinctive serif voice that bridges classic inscriptional cues and decorative, gothic flavor while staying relatively controlled and legible. The consistent vertical stress and pointed flares suggest an intention to create strong presence in titles and identity work without relying on heavy stroke contrast.
The design relies on distinctive terminal shapes for character: pointed top serifs on capitals, pronounced feet on verticals, and squared apertures that keep the texture crisp in lines of text. Spacing appears relatively tight and rhythmic, reinforcing a strong vertical cadence in headlines and short passages.
