A heavy, angular serif with pronounced chamfered corners and an overall octagonal construction. Stems and arms are thick and mostly uniform, with small triangular wedge-like serifs and frequent clipped terminals that create a faceted, carved impression. Counters tend toward squarish and enclosed shapes (notably in O/Q/0/8/9), while diagonals in letters like A, V, W, and X are crisp and straight. Lowercase forms echo the same blackletter-adjacent geometry, keeping tight joins and compact bowls, producing a dense texture in text.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, posters, mastheads, and logo/wordmark work where its angular detailing can read clearly. It also fits signage and themed packaging that benefits from a historic, institutional, or gothic tone.
The face conveys a traditional, old-world seriousness with a strong collegiate and heraldic flavor. Its faceted cuts and sharp joins suggest craftsmanship and ceremony—evoking signage, crests, and institutional identity rather than casual reading.
The design appears intended to modernize a gothic/blackletter-inspired voice into a sturdier, more geometric display serif, emphasizing faceted corners and wedge serifs for strong impact and a cohesive, emblematic look.
Numerals are especially emblematic, with the 0 rendered as a ringed octagon and other figures built from the same clipped-corner vocabulary. The design maintains consistent corner treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive, emblem-like rhythm at display sizes.
