A compact, vertical serif design with a distinctly angular, faceted construction. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, ending in sharp, flared wedge terminals that read as small triangular serifs rather than soft brackets. Counters are tight and geometric, with frequent straight segments and clipped curves that give letters a chiseled, inscribed feel. Capitals are tall and disciplined, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, upright rhythm with pointed joins and occasional notched details; figures match the same angular, cut-stone logic.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its angular detailing can be appreciated—headlines, titles, posters, packaging, and identity marks. It can also work for period-flavored book covers or event materials, but will feel heavy and insistent in long passages at smaller sizes.
The font projects a gothic, ceremonial tone—formal, historic, and a bit severe. Its sharp terminals and compact texture evoke tradition and authority, with a craft-like, engraved character that feels suited to heraldic or institutional messaging rather than casual text.
The design appears intended to modernize blackletter/inscription cues into a sturdy display serif: tall, compact forms, wedge-like terminals, and a carved geometry that prioritizes impact and historical flavor over everyday neutrality.
In the sample text, the dense texture and tight internal spaces create a strong, dark typographic color, especially in longer lines. The distinctive wedge terminals and faceting remain consistent across letters and numerals, reinforcing a cohesive, carved aesthetic.
