A heavy, faceted serif with sharp wedge-like terminals and crisp, straight-sided stems. The design emphasizes angular joins, chamfered corners, and octagonal/rectilinear counters that give round letters a carved, geometric feel. Contrast is pronounced, with stout main strokes and relatively thin connecting strokes and interior cuts; serifs read as tapered wedges rather than soft, bracketed forms. Proportions are broadly set and sturdy, with squared shoulders and a compact, blocky rhythm that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display work where its sculpted serifs and sharp facets can be appreciated: headlines, poster typography, mastheads, and packaging. In longer passages it creates a dense, emphatic texture, making it most effective for short editorial callouts, titles, or pull quotes rather than small-size continuous reading.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, with a slightly old-world, engraved character. Its chiseled geometry and sharp terminals create a theatrical, headline-forward voice that feels suited to emphatic statements and heritage-leaning branding.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact through carved, wedge-serif shapes and high-contrast construction, prioritizing presence and a distinctive, engraved-like silhouette. The consistent chamfered geometry suggests an intention to evoke classic, heritage display typography while remaining tightly structured and graphic.
Caps are especially monumental, while the lowercase maintains the same faceted construction, producing a strongly unified texture in paragraphs despite the assertive forms. Numerals follow the same angular, cut-corner logic, supporting consistent color in display settings.
