A bold, high-contrast serif with sharply chiseled geometry and frequent 45° corner cuts that create an octagonal, engraved silhouette. Stems are mostly straight and vertical with crisp terminals, while the serifs read as small, flared wedges rather than slabs, giving a carved, inscriptional feel. Curves are minimized or faceted (notably in rounds like O and 8), and counters tend toward squarish shapes that reinforce the rigid rhythm. Spacing and proportions feel display-oriented, with strong black shapes and distinctive notches that remain consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display sizes where its faceted details and sharp terminals can read clearly: headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging, and signage. It can also work well for collegiate/sports identity systems and event marks where a sturdy, traditional voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, suggesting institutional or ceremonial typography with a hint of old-world craft. Its angular cuts and engraved color add a rugged, made-by-hand impression that feels both historic and emphatic, akin to varsity and signage aesthetics.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif construction through a chiseled, beveled approach, emphasizing strong silhouettes and an engraved, institutional character. Its consistent corner cuts and flared serif treatment suggest a focus on impact and thematic styling over neutral text economy.
The lowercase carries the same faceted construction as the capitals, producing a unified, decorative texture in text. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic (especially 0, 6, 8, 9), which helps maintain cohesion in headings and numbering.
