A compact, dark serif with angular, chamfered shaping and a distinctly beveled, chiseled feel. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with crisp corners and frequent diagonal cuts that create octagonal counters and terminals. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, and the overall construction favors straight segments over curves, producing a faceted rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Spacing is moderate and the forms read as sturdy, with simplified, squared bowls and a deliberately rigid texture in text.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where its dense color and faceted serifs can read as intentional styling—headlines, branding, labels, title treatments, and editorial openers. It can work in brief passages when set with generous size and leading, but its strong angular texture is most effective when used for emphasis rather than extended body copy.
The tone is historic and ceremonial, evoking traditional print, heraldic lettering, and old-world formality. Its sharp cuts and dense color convey authority and gravity, with a slightly decorative, inscribed character that feels classic rather than casual.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif typography through a geometric, cut-stone approach: strong weight, clipped curves, and wedge serifs that create an engraved, historic display presence while remaining structured and legible.
Uppercase forms lean monumental and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps the same faceted logic, maintaining a consistent texture in paragraphs. Numerals echo the same angular construction with squared shoulders and clipped curves, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
