A decorative serif with crisp, chiseled construction and pronounced flared serifs. Strokes are largely even, but terminals and joins are cut with angled facets that create an octagonal, beveled look throughout. Counters tend toward squared and chamfered shapes (notably in O, C, G, and the numerals), and curves are often resolved into straight segments. The overall rhythm is sturdy and compact with sharp corners, wedge-like feet, and consistent, high-contrast silhouettes created more by geometry than by stroke modulation.
Best suited to display settings where its faceted serifs and octagonal curves can read clearly—posters, headlines, signage, and branding systems that want a historic or institutional voice. It can also work for short subheads or packaging callouts, but its strong decorative construction is likely to dominate in extended text.
The face conveys a gothic, heraldic tone—formal, historic, and a bit severe. Its engraved, stonecut character suggests tradition and authority while remaining decorative and attention-grabbing. The angular facets add a slightly industrial sharpness that reads as bold and ceremonial rather than friendly.
The design appears intended to evoke engraved or stonecut lettering through chamfered corners, wedge terminals, and squared counters. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a consistent faceted motif to create a distinctive, old-world display serif with a formal, emblematic presence.
Uppercase forms feel especially emblematic due to the chamfered corners and strong serifs, while lowercase maintains the same faceted logic with simplified bowls and squared-off curves. Numerals are blocky and sign-like, with cut corners that keep them visually aligned with the caps. The overall impression is consistent and intentional, emphasizing carved geometry over calligraphic flow.
