A sharply angular serif with faceted, chiseled stroke endings and pronounced triangular terminals. Curves are consistently broken into straight segments, giving round letters like O and Q an octagonal, carved feel. Strokes show a modest thick–thin rhythm with wedge-like serifs and pointed joins that create a crisp, high-contrast silhouette at display sizes. The lowercase maintains compact proportions with sturdy verticals and distinctive, slightly asymmetric details in letters like a, e, and g, while the numerals echo the same cut-stone geometry.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short blocks of text where its faceted detailing can be appreciated—such as book covers, event posters, labels, and brand marks. It can also work for themed editorial pull quotes or UI/game titles where a historic, engraved tone is desired.
The overall tone evokes manuscript and engraved-letter traditions—authoritative, ceremonial, and slightly austere. Its sharp edges and dark, rhythmic texture read as historic and dramatic, suitable for designs aiming for a medieval or arcane atmosphere without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter and inscribed serif forms into a cleaner, more uniform display face, preserving the cut, angular character while keeping letterforms recognizable and broadly readable. Its consistent wedge terminals and segmented curves suggest an emphasis on bold texture and period atmosphere.
In text, the font forms a strong, patterned color with emphatic word shapes driven by angular counters and pointed terminals. The caps feel particularly emblematic and sign-like, while the lowercase retains enough clarity for short passages, especially when set with generous spacing.
