A heavy, faceted display serif with crisp chamfered corners and wedge-like, flared terminals that give strokes a carved, metal-cut feel. The letterforms are compactly constructed with broad, flat-sided stems and angled joins, producing a rhythmic pattern of sharp diagonals across the alphabet. Counters are generally small and geometric, with octagonal tendencies in round characters (notably O/0), and the lowercase shows a traditional, slightly calligraphic structure (single-storey a, diamond-like i/j dots) that stays consistent with the angular detailing. Numerals and capitals share the same blocky, cut-corner logic, yielding a cohesive, sign-ready texture.
Best suited for posters, headlines, mastheads, and branding where a strong historical or ceremonial voice is desired. It also fits packaging and labels for heritage-themed products, and short sign copy where the faceted, carved look can be a focal stylistic element.
The font projects a medieval-to-victorian gravitas—ceremonial, traditional, and slightly theatrical. Its sharp facets and assertive weight read as confident and authoritative, evoking signage, crests, and historical print rather than contemporary minimalism.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter and engraved-letter traditions into a sturdy, highly legible display serif. Its consistent chamfering and flared endings suggest a deliberate “carved” aesthetic meant to feel crafted and authoritative while remaining usable for modern headline typography.
Spacing and letterfit appear geared toward display sizes, where the angular cuts and small counters remain legible and the texture becomes pleasantly patterned. The many diagonal cuts and pointed terminals create a lively sparkle, but in dense paragraphs the dark color and tight interior spaces can feel intense.
