A heavy, angular serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals that reads as carved or chiseled rather than smoothly bracketed. The letters are built from broad, straight stems and sharp wedges, with tight internal counters and frequent notch-like cut-ins that create a faceted rhythm. Uppercase forms are tall and imposing, while lowercase keeps a compact, blocky structure with sturdy verticals and minimal curvature. Numerals follow the same architectural construction, maintaining strong vertical emphasis and squared apertures for a consistent, poster-like texture.
Best suited for display settings where impact and character matter more than long-form comfort: posters, headlines, title cards, album or game titles, and bold wordmarks. It can also work well on packaging or labels that want a historic or craft-forward voice, especially at larger sizes where the inner shapes stay clear.
The overall tone feels medieval and heraldic, with a stern, ceremonial presence. Its sharp wedges and carved detailing suggest tradition, authority, and drama, leaning toward a gothic display mood without becoming fully blackletter.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, historically tinged display voice by combining very heavy proportions with chiseled, flared terminals and angular detailing. It prioritizes recognizable silhouette and dramatic texture, aiming to evoke engraved lettering and gothic-era sign forms in a modern, consistent alphabet.
The texture becomes dense in longer lines due to the weight, tight counters, and frequent angular notches, so spacing and size will strongly affect readability. The design’s signature is the repeated flared terminal motif, which gives even simple shapes a distinctive, ornamental edge.
