A tall, tightly condensed serif with a calligraphic, blackletter-leaning construction. Strokes are mostly straight and vertical with sharp joins, pointed terminals, and narrow internal counters that create a strong vertical rhythm. Serifs are small, wedge-like, and often flare or hook subtly, giving many letters a chiseled, inked feel. Curves are restrained and tend to resolve into angular shoulders, while details like the hooked descenders and tapered tops add a distinctly ornamental texture in running text.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, titles, and cover typography where its condensed verticality can create impact without consuming horizontal space. It also works well for branding accents—logotypes, labels, and packaging—especially for themes that benefit from a gothic, vintage, or fantastical mood. For longer passages, it reads most comfortably at larger sizes where the narrow counters and sharp details have room to breathe.
The font projects a gothic, old-world tone—dramatic and slightly ominous, but also playful in its exaggerated narrowness and quirky terminals. It evokes period signage, fantasy titles, and vintage print ephemera, where a bit of theatrical flair is desirable. The overall voice is assertive and stylized rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed display serif with blackletter-inspired drama and a handcrafted, inked character. Its sharp wedges, hooked terminals, and emphatic vertical rhythm suggest a focus on creating strong atmosphere and historical or fantasy associations rather than a purely text-optimized reading face.
Spacing and letterforms emphasize height over width, so words form dark, vertical bands with a lively, irregular sparkle from the sharp terminals. The lowercase includes distinctive, occasionally looped or hooked descenders, and the figures follow the same condensed, decorative logic, supporting display use where character is more important than quiet readability.
