A compact, vertical display serif with a blackletter-leaning construction and sharply faceted terminals. Stems are straight and heavy with crisp, triangular wedges and notched joins that create a broken-stroke impression rather than continuous curves. Round letters resolve into angular counters, producing a tight, rhythmic texture with strong vertical emphasis. Serifs and terminals are pointed and chiseled, and many forms use symmetrical, architectural shapes that read like carved signage.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, title treatments, logos, and branding where a historic or gothic voice is desired. It can work well for album/film titles, event promotions, packaging, and signage that benefits from a carved, heraldic feel.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and old-world authority. Its sharp edges and dense rhythm convey severity and drama, giving text an imposing, formal presence.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter/old-style letterforms into a clean, consistent digital display face with strong vertical rhythm and emphatic, chiseled detailing. It prioritizes impact and atmosphere over neutral readability, aiming for a distinctive, period-coded texture.
The digit set follows the same angular logic and narrow footprint, keeping figures tall and compact. In longer text, the repeated verticals and pointed terminals create a highly textured color that favors short bursts of setting over continuous reading.
