A sharply angled serif design with an italic forward slant and pronounced modulation between thick and thin strokes. Serifs are pointed and wedge-like, with frequent faceting and chamfered corners that give many terminals a cut, chiselled appearance. Capitals are tall and narrow with crisp internal angles, while lowercase forms keep a compact, upright skeleton but lean consistently, producing a lively, slightly compressed rhythm. Curves are often polygonal rather than round, and joins in letters like m, n, and h show sturdy vertical stems with narrow counters, reinforcing a dense, black-on-white color.
This font is well-suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and identity work where a historic or heraldic voice is desired. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes at larger sizes, where its high-contrast strokes and angular detailing remain clear.
The overall tone feels historic and assertive, borrowing cues from gothic and old-world display lettering while staying legible in continuous text. Its sharp terminals and faceted construction read as ceremonial and authoritative, with a faint “engraved” or signage-like character.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional, old-style serif letterforms with a decorative, blackletter-adjacent edge, combining italic motion with faceted, engraved-like terminals for strong visual presence.
Distinctive details include diamond-like i/j dots, angular bowls, and strong diagonal stress that keeps word shapes energetic. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with sturdy, poster-ready silhouettes and crisp notches that maintain the cut-stone aesthetic.
