A decorative serif with crisp, angular construction and pronounced chamfered corners, giving many curves an octagonal, beveled feel. Strokes are fairly even with moderate contrast, and terminals often end in compact, bracketed serifs rather than soft, calligraphic finishes. The design maintains a disciplined, vertical rhythm with sturdy caps and comparatively narrow apertures, while round letters like O/Q and numerals show faceted rounding and squared-off turns. Lowercase forms stay clear and workmanlike, with short-to-moderate extenders and a consistent, carved-looking edge treatment across the set.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, book covers, and identity work where the angular, beveled detailing can read clearly. It can also support short editorial passages or pull quotes when you want a firm, vintage tone, though the strong texture may feel insistent in long-form body copy.
The overall tone feels vintage and utilitarian—confident, slightly severe, and reminiscent of engraved or stamped lettering. Its faceted contours add an industrial, machined character, while the classical serif framework keeps it grounded and editorial.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif letterforms with a geometric, carved aesthetic—evoking engraving, signage, or industrial marking while remaining readable and structurally familiar.
Distinctive chamfers appear throughout (notably in C/G/O/Q and the figures), which can create a strong texture in paragraphs and a pronounced personality at display sizes. The numerals echo the same faceted logic, helping headings and data-driven layouts feel cohesive.
