A condensed, monolinear display face built from crisp planar facets instead of curves. Strokes terminate in sharp, chiseled angles with consistent thickness, producing a tight, vertical rhythm and compact counters. The uppercase forms are tall and rigid, while lowercase retains similar verticality and pointed joins, keeping the texture even across words. Numerals follow the same faceted construction with narrow proportions and strong vertical stems, creating a unified, emblematic set.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, logotypes, labels, and packaging where a bold, historic-meets-mechanical texture is desirable. It also works well for event branding, merchandise graphics, and editorial display applications that can accommodate its dense rhythm and angular detail.
The overall tone is stern and traditional, evoking carved lettering, heraldic inscriptions, and old-world signage. Its sharp geometry and disciplined spacing add an industrial edge, giving the font a dramatic, authoritative voice that feels ceremonial and intense rather than casual.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter-era severity into a cleaner, more geometric, faceted construction. By replacing curves with planar cuts and keeping stroke weight steady, it aims to deliver a strong, easily recognizable display voice that reads as both traditional and sharply modernized.
The faceting creates small internal notches and angled apertures that can visually fill in at small sizes, but it rewards larger settings where the planar cuts read clearly. The narrow build and vertical stress produce a dense typographic color, making line breaks and tracking especially influential on readability.
