A condensed serif with tall proportions and a tight, vertical rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with relatively crisp, tapered joins and frequent spurs that break from stems and bowls, giving many letters a forked, thorn-like finish. Serifs are sharp and ornamental rather than bracketed, and terminals often resolve into pointed flicks or small beak-like forms. Counters are compact and upright, producing a dark, linear texture that stays controlled even in all-caps settings.
Best suited to headlines, titles, posters, and cover typography where its condensed footprint and ornate terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short branding phrases or logotypes that want a historical, Gothic edge, while longer paragraphs may become dense due to its narrow spacing and dark color.
The overall tone is Gothic and ceremonial, with an old-world, inscribed quality that feels formal and slightly ominous. Its pointed spurs and narrow stance add drama and a sense of medieval or liturgical character while remaining readable in display sizes.
The design appears intended to modernize a blackletter-adjacent, medieval serif voice into a more structured, typographic display face. By combining narrow proportions with forked spurs and pointed terminals, it aims to deliver a dramatic historical flavor without fully adopting broken-letter construction.
Uppercase forms read as stately and architectural, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic movement through hooked terminals and distinctive spur details on letters like a, g, y, and z. Numerals keep the same narrow, upright posture with matching pointed terminals, helping headings and dates feel cohesive.
