A sharp, blackletter-influenced display serif with monoline strokes and pronounced slabby feet. Forms are built from straight segments and crisp chamfered corners, producing octagonal bowls and faceted curves rather than smooth rounds. The uppercase is compact and upright with structured geometry, while the lowercase follows a similar constructed rhythm with narrow arches and angular joins. Numerals echo the same beveled, squared construction, maintaining a consistent, sturdy texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a historic or gothic voice is desired. It performs well in short passages and titling for packaging, signage, and event materials, especially when set with generous leading to let the angular details breathe.
The overall tone feels traditional and formal, with a distinctly medieval or gothic flavor. Its faceted construction and heavy, squared serifs create an authoritative, ceremonial mood suited to heritage and institutional cues rather than casual modernity.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter and engraved letterform cues into a more regularized, geometric, slab-serif structure. Its consistent, beveled construction emphasizes uniformity and impact, prioritizing a strong texture and distinctive silhouette for display use.
Spacing and rhythm in the sample text create an even, dark color, with distinctive notched corners and consistent stroke endings that read clearly at larger sizes. The design’s repeated chamfers and straight-edged curves give it an engraved, sign-painterly character.
