A condensed decorative serif with tall, rectilinear proportions and a strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes stay largely even in weight, while terminals sharpen into wedge-like spurs and small flared serifs that create a chiseled, cut-paper silhouette. Counters are tight and often rectangular, with frequent right-angle joins and notched interior corners that emphasize an architectural, grid-like construction. The lowercase follows the same narrow, upright structure, producing dense word shapes and a compact overall texture.
Best suited to display settings where its narrow width and spurred details can be appreciated—posters, editorial headlines, title treatments, and branding or logotype work with a historic or fantasy-leaning aesthetic. It also fits labels and packaging that want a chiseled, traditional voice, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The tone is gothic and old-world, evoking medieval signage, occult or fantasy titling, and historic broadsheet display. Its sharp spurs and narrow stance give it a dramatic, severe voice that reads as ceremonial and emphatic rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display serif that blends blackletter-like angularity with structured roman forms. Its consistent stroke weight and sharpened terminals aim to maximize presence and character in tight headline spaces while maintaining a coherent, ornamental texture.
The crisp, pointed terminals and tight apertures create strong contrast against the page at large sizes, but the dense internal spaces and narrow letterforms can darken quickly in long lines. Numerals echo the same angular, spurred construction, reinforcing a consistent display-forward character across letters and figures.
