A sharply drawn serif with faceted, chamfered terminals and wedge-like serifs that create an engraved, octagonal feel on bowls and counters. Strokes show clear contrast with crisp hairlines, narrow joins, and firm vertical emphasis, while corners are frequently cut or flattened rather than fully rounded. The design maintains a disciplined rhythm in text, with compact curves, slightly condensed-looking caps, and distinctive straight-sided forms in letters like O/Q and numerals such as 0 and 8 that read as subtly polygonal.
Best suited for display and short-form settings such as headlines, magazine titles, book covers, posters, and formal invitations where its faceted details can be appreciated. It also works well for branding in premium or heritage-leaning contexts, particularly when set with generous spacing and strong typographic hierarchy.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a lightly ornamental, engraved flavor that suggests tradition and ceremony rather than casual readability. Its sharp facets and disciplined proportions lend a refined, almost heraldic character suited to elevated or historic-feeling typography.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif construction with an angular, engraved treatment, emphasizing sharp terminals and chamfered curves for a distinctive, decorative voice. It aims to deliver a formal, classical impression while adding a recognizable, faceted signature in both capitals and figures.
The caps show strong, decorative construction—especially on round letters—while the lowercase remains comparatively restrained, creating a pronounced hierarchy in mixed-case settings. Numerals mirror the faceted, chamfered logic, helping headings and pull-figures feel cohesive with the letterforms.
