A decorative serif with heavy, blocky stems and a distinctly angular, faceted construction. Terminals finish in sharp wedge-like serifs and notched corners, creating a carved, chiseled feel rather than a smooth bracketed flow. Counters are generally rectangular and compact, with frequent right-angle turns and clipped interior corners; curves are minimized in favor of straight segments. The lowercase follows the same modular logic as the caps, producing a consistent, disciplined rhythm in text with tight apertures and a strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging, and book or album covers where its angular detail and strong presence can be appreciated. It can also work for short thematic text (e.g., chapter openers or pull quotes) in historical, fantasy, or metal-adjacent contexts, but is less ideal for long passages at small sizes due to its dense texture and tight counters.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking medieval signage, engraved titling, and old-world authority. Its sharp serifs and cut-in details convey severity and drama, leaning more toward heraldic or historical flavor than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter-inspired forms into a sturdy, modular serif built from straight cuts and wedge terminals. Its emphasis on sharp joins, notches, and carved-looking serifs suggests a goal of producing an emblematic, historic display face that holds up as a bold silhouette in signage-like applications.
In running text the dense silhouettes and narrow internal spaces create a dark color on the page, with distinctive letterforms (notably in the diagonals and notched joins) that read best when given sufficient size and spacing. Numerals and capitals share the same squared, architectural styling, supporting cohesive display settings.
