A heavy, display-oriented serif with compact counters, strong vertical stems, and sharply flared, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are pronounced and often triangular or beaked, giving strokes a carved, chiseled look rather than a smooth book-face finish. The rhythm is dense and inky, with narrow internal space and crisp joins, while the lowercase shows a tall x-height and stout, square-leaning forms that keep the texture bold and continuous. Overall proportions feel broad in the capitals and sturdy in the lowercase, with clear, consistent serif treatment across letters and figures.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, posters, and brand marks where a strong, historic tone is desired. It can work for short editorial display text (pull quotes, section openers) and on packaging or labels that benefit from a carved, traditional feel, but its dense color and tight counters make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The face conveys a gothic, old-world authority—evoking blackletter-adjacent signage and vintage headline typography without becoming fully calligraphic. Its bold presence reads as ceremonial and commanding, with a slightly theatrical edge suited to dramatic or historic themes.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif framework, using sharpened, wedge-like terminals and tightly packed forms to create a bold, gothic-leaning display voice. It prioritizes strong silhouette and thematic character over quiet, neutral text readability.
The figures share the same angular serif language and heavy weight, helping numerals hold their own in display settings. The strong, pointed terminals and tight counters make it most comfortable at larger sizes where the internal shapes can breathe.
