A heavy, display-oriented serif with sharp, flared terminals and distinctly angular construction. Strokes are predominantly straight and planar, with beveled-looking corners and wedge-like serifs that create a chiseled, engraved feel. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and the rhythm is tightly packed, producing strong vertical emphasis. Lowercase forms echo the same faceted geometry, with pointed joins and diamond-like dots on i/j; numerals are equally blocky and stylized for consistency.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as mastheads, posters, event titles, album artwork, and brand marks where a historic or gothic tone is desired. It can also work for packaging and labels that benefit from an engraved, traditional look, but is likely strongest at larger sizes rather than extended reading.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, suggesting tradition, authority, and a slightly ominous drama. Its hard edges and dense color evoke signage, heraldry, and historic printing, giving text a commanding, old-world presence.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, old-world display voice by combining classic serif structure with blackletter-adjacent, faceted detailing. Its consistent, chiseled geometry prioritizes visual authority and decorative texture for attention-grabbing typography.
The design favors silhouette and texture over smooth reading flow: many letters share similar vertical stems and squared counters, creating a consistent, dark typographic “weave” in continuous text. Pointed terminals and stepped interior cuts add decorative bite, especially noticeable in capitals and in letters with diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y).
