A tightly condensed decorative serif with tall proportions, narrow counters, and a mostly even stroke presence that reads as monoline at text distance. Forms are built from straight stems and faceted curves, with distinctive beveled corners and small, spurred wedge-like terminals that create a chiseled, engraved silhouette. The rhythm is vertical and rigid, with consistent cap height and compact lowercase that keeps apertures tight and geometry crisp. Numerals and caps share the same squared, cut-in construction, maintaining a uniform, mechanical texture across the set.
Best used for headlines, posters, signage, and logo work where its condensed footprint and carved detailing can read clearly at larger sizes. It can also work for short emphatic lines on packaging or labels, especially when a vintage or gothic display flavor is desired.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, evoking vintage signage and gothic display traditions through its sharp, hewn details. Its condensed stance and angular finishing give it an authoritative, slightly ominous presence that feels suited to dramatic headlines and striking brand statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow measure, combining a traditional serif foundation with stylized, faceted terminals to create a distinctive display voice. Its consistent beveling and vertical emphasis suggest a focus on branding and titling rather than extended body copy.
In running text the narrow widths and tight inner spaces create a dense color, while the repeated bevel motif provides a strong, consistent identity. The punctuation and dots appear small and squared, reinforcing the constructed, architectural feel.
