neo-gothic
Pointed arch revival
Neo-gothic describes a revival of Gothic architectural and artistic styles, particularly the 19th-century movement that brought back pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses: The campus is full of neo-gothic buildings with gargoyles and spires.
The term extends to literature, music, and fashion that draw on dark, medieval aesthetics.
Also spelled neo-Gothic or neogothic. (Capitalized Neo-Gothic emphasizes the proper-noun status of Gothic.)
