A highly condensed display serif with heavy, even-weight strokes and a strongly vertical skeleton. Forms are built from straight segments with crisp angles and faceted corners, creating a carved, chiseled look rather than soft curves. Serifs are short and pointed, often wedge-like, and terminals frequently end in sharp spurs. Counters are compact and rectangular, with a consistent rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals; the overall texture reads dense and emphatic, optimized for impact at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, wordmarks, labels, and signage where a compact width and strong vertical emphasis are useful. It can also work for titles on packaging or editorial mastheads when a historical, gothic-leaning atmosphere is desired.
The tone feels gothic and ceremonial, with a historic, engraved quality that suggests tradition and authority. Its sharp geometry and compressed stance add urgency and drama, giving text a poster-like presence and a slightly austere, old-world character.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-contrast-by-shape (not stroke) display voice that echoes engraved and blackletter-adjacent traditions while remaining structurally serifed and highly regular. Its consistent stroke weight and angular detailing prioritize visual punch and a distinctive period mood over quiet, long-form readability.
Distinctive diamond-like dots appear on i and j, reinforcing the angular motif. Numerals follow the same condensed, faceted construction, and the sample text shows a strong, uninterrupted vertical cadence with minimal modulation, producing a bold, uniform color on the line.
