A compact, serifed display face built from strong vertical strokes and crisp, faceted corners. Curves are largely squared-off into octagonal forms, with small wedge-like serifs and chamfered terminals that create a carved, beveled impression. Counters are tight and geometric, joins are abrupt, and the overall rhythm is dense and columnar, producing a dark, high-impact texture in lines of text. Numerals and capitals carry the same angular construction, with consistent corner cuts and sturdy proportions.
Well suited for posters, mastheads, branding wordmarks, labels, and signage where a compact, forceful voice is desired. It can work effectively in large sizes for titles and short copy, especially in vintage-leaning or dramatic layouts, but is less appropriate for extended small-size text.
The font projects a gothic, old-world seriousness with a poster-like punch. Its rigid geometry and chiseled detailing evoke heritage signage and dramatic headlines, giving text a stern, ceremonial tone rather than a casual or friendly one.
The letterforms appear designed to reinterpret traditional serif structure through a geometric, chamfered build, prioritizing impact and a distinctive silhouette. The consistent bevel-like cuts suggest an intention to mimic engraved or stamped lettering while remaining highly legible at display sizes.
The design leans heavily on straight segments and corner chamfers, so diagonal letters and rounded glyphs read as carefully faceted shapes. In continuous reading, the dense spacing and sharp internal angles amplify contrast between black mass and narrow white counters, making it best suited to short, emphatic settings.
