A heavy, faceted serif design with carved-looking counters and strongly angled terminals. Strokes are predominantly straight with brisk chamfers that create a cut-stone rhythm, while the stems broaden subtly toward the ends, producing flared, wedge-like serifs rather than slabs. Counters tend to be small and polygonal, with tight apertures and crisp joins; diagonals (as in V/W/X/Y) feel stout and decisive. The lowercase follows the same angular logic with a single-storey a and g, a pointed-shoulder r, and a sharp, notched t, giving text a compact, dark texture.
Best suited to display settings where texture and presence are desired: headlines, posters, branding marks, labels/packaging, and signage. It can set short passages for an intentionally dense, dramatic voice, but the tight counters and aggressive angles favor larger sizes and generous spacing.
The overall tone evokes traditional blackletter and poster woodcut lettering—bold, authoritative, and slightly austere. Its sharp corners and chiseled silhouettes communicate heritage and ceremony, with a rugged, handmade edge that reads as historic rather than minimalist or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, historic voice with chiseled geometry and flared serif endings—balancing legibility with a distinctly medieval/woodcut-inspired texture for attention-grabbing display typography.
Caps are especially strong and emblematic, with octagonal O/Q forms and a pronounced diagonal leg on R. Numerals are equally blocky and faceted, designed for display impact over delicate differentiation at small sizes.
