A condensed decorative serif with crisp, chiseled geometry and a largely monoline feel. Curves are minimized into faceted, near-octagonal bowls and counters, with frequent clipped corners and sharp interior joins. Serifs appear as small, pointed wedges and spur-like terminals that reinforce a carved, architectural look. The overall rhythm is vertical and compact, with tight apertures, squared shoulders, and consistent stroke presence that keeps the texture dark and even in text.
Best used for headlines and short display settings where its faceted details and narrow proportions can add character without overwhelming readability. It also suits logos, labels, and signage that benefit from a carved, traditional voice. In longer text, it works most effectively at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking signage, heraldic headings, and old-world print. Its sharp facets and narrow stance feel strict and authoritative, with a slightly theatrical edge that reads as historic rather than casual.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif forms through a cut-stone, beveled construction—prioritizing a strong silhouette, vertical emphasis, and a historical display flavor suitable for impactful titling.
Capitals are especially angular and plaque-like, while the lowercase retains the same faceted construction, producing a uniform, display-oriented texture. Numerals follow the same clipped, geometric logic, helping mixed text maintain a consistent, engraved character.
