This typeface features tall, condensed letterforms with pronounced flared serifs and sharply hooked terminals. Strokes are sturdy and relatively even, with subtle contrast and frequent wedge-like joins that create a carved, cut-from-metal feel. Many characters show narrow apertures and compact counters, while curves often end in pointed, slightly curling tips that add a spiky rhythm. Overall spacing and proportions emphasize verticality, with tight internal shapes and a crisp, high-impact silhouette in text.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, title treatments, and branding where a distinctive gothic-vintage voice is desired. It can work well for themed packaging or labels, especially in entertainment, fantasy, or Halloween-adjacent contexts. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where the tight counters and sharp details have room to breathe.
The tone reads gothic and theatrical, with a vintage, old-world flavor that can shift toward eerie or mysterious depending on context. Its sharp hooks and flared feet suggest signage, posters, and storybook drama rather than neutral editorial typography. The personality is assertive and ornamental, designed to be seen and felt.
The design intention appears to be a condensed, high-impact serif with decorative, flared detailing that evokes historical blackletter-adjacent signage without fully adopting blackletter construction. It prioritizes character and atmosphere—sharp terminals, narrow proportions, and sculpted joins—to deliver strong presence in short text and titling.
In the sample text, the strong vertical emphasis and pointed terminals create a lively texture and noticeable word shapes, especially in capital-heavy settings. Numerals are similarly compact and weighty, matching the angular, decorative construction of the letters.
