A dark, slanted serif with an angular, chiseled construction and frequent chamfered corners. Strokes are hefty and largely even, with wedge-like serifs and pointed terminals that create a carved, faceted look. Counters tend to be tight and polygonal, and many curves resolve into straight segments, giving the face a hard-edged rhythm. The overall spacing reads moderately tight, and the italic angle adds forward motion without turning the letterforms into scripts.
Best suited to display settings where its dark color and angular detailing can read clearly—such as headlines, logotypes, badges, and short impactful phrases. It can also work for themed packaging or titles in historical, fantasy, or metal-adjacent contexts, but is likely to feel heavy for long-form text.
The font conveys a medieval and ceremonial tone, blending blackletter associations with a punchy, poster-ready presence. Its sharp facets and dense color feel assertive and martial, suggesting tradition, authority, and drama rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to modernize a Gothic/blackletter flavor into a structured italic display serif, prioritizing bold silhouette and carved details over delicate modulation. It aims for high visual character and a distinctive, authoritative voice in branding and titling.
Capitals show a strong display posture with prominent diagonals and notched joins, while the lowercase keeps the same faceted logic for consistency. Numerals follow the same chamfered geometry, maintaining a uniform, cut-stone texture across mixed text.
