A compact, heavy serif design with strongly angular construction and frequent chamfered corners. Strokes are mostly straight with minimal curvature, giving letters a faceted, carved look; counters tend toward rectangular or polygonal shapes. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, often beaked, and terminals end in pointed spurs that create a crisp, high-impact silhouette. The rhythm is dense and vertical, with narrow interior spacing and an overall sense of deliberate, architectural geometry.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its dense texture and sharp detailing can read clearly—such as headlines, posters, brand marks, labels, and signage. It can also work for thematic titles in contexts that benefit from a historic or formal voice, but its strong texture may feel heavy in small body text.
The font projects a Gothic, heraldic tone reminiscent of old-world signage and engraved lettering. Its dark color and sharp facets lend a stern, authoritative mood that reads as traditional and ceremonial rather than casual.
The design appears intended to evoke carved or engraved letterforms through angular modulation, sharp serifs, and compact proportions, prioritizing strong presence and thematic character over neutrality. Consistent faceting across caps, lowercase, and figures suggests a display-oriented system built for impactful words and titles.
Uppercase forms maintain a consistent blocky logic while lowercase introduces similarly angular bowls and abrupt joins, keeping texture even in longer text. Numerals are sturdy and squared-off, matching the faceted serif language for a cohesive display palette.
