A condensed serif with tall, vertical proportions and pointed, forked terminals that read as small spurs on many stroke ends. Strokes show moderate contrast, with firm, straight main stems and subtly tapered joins that create a crisp, chiseled silhouette. Curves are tightened and often finish in sharp beaks, giving bowls and shoulders a slightly angular, carved quality. The rhythm is narrow and upright with compact sidebearings, producing an economical texture that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display typography where its narrow width and ornate spurs can be appreciated: headlines, posters, book and album covers, identity systems, and wordmarks. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with ample size and spacing, but its dense texture and sharp detailing favor titling over long-form reading.
The overall tone is gothic and antique, evoking engraved inscriptions, medieval or Renaissance print, and classic horror or mystery titling. Its sharp terminals and compressed rhythm create a sense of tension and drama, while the serif detailing adds a formal, literary gravitas.
The design appears intended to deliver a historically flavored, blackletter-adjacent serif voice in a condensed footprint. Its forked terminals and carved-looking modulation aim to provide strong character and period atmosphere while remaining legible in contemporary display use.
Capitals feel especially architectural, with strong vertical emphasis and distinctive spur accents that add personality without becoming overly flourished. In text settings the narrow measure produces a dark, patterned color, and the spiky terminals become a defining feature at display sizes.
