A compact, angular serif display face with heavy, even strokes and crisp chamfered corners that read as cut or beveled rather than smoothly bracketed. Serifs are wedge-like and triangular, often flaring into sharp points, while verticals stay straight and rigid, giving the forms a carved, architectural feel. Curves are minimized into faceted arcs (notably in C, G, S, and 8), and counters tend toward squarish or octagonal shapes. The lowercase is sturdy and blocky with a single-storey a, a flat-topped t, and a tall, narrow i/j with a rectangular dot; spacing feels tight and rhythmic, optimized for headline settings rather than long text.
Best suited for titles, mastheads, posters, and branding where a bold, traditional presence is needed. It can work well on labels and packaging, or for signage and event materials that benefit from a vintage, gothic-leaning display style.
The overall tone is gothic-adjacent and old-world, evoking printed proclamations, traditional signage, and heraldic or ceremonial typography. Its sharp terminals and faceted construction create a stern, authoritative voice with a hint of dramatic flair.
The design appears intended to modernize a blackletter-inspired, engraved aesthetic into sturdy, legible display letterforms with consistent geometry. It prioritizes impact and a cohesive, carved texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals for use at larger sizes.
Uppercase characters maintain a consistent, squared geometry; letters like E and F show strong horizontal arms, while M/W and V/Y emphasize pointed interior joins and spurs. Numerals are robust and angular, matching the faceted treatment of round forms and reinforcing a uniform, emblematic texture in lines of text.
