A heavy, decorative serif with broad, compact letterforms and a strongly sculpted silhouette. Strokes are largely monolinear but shaped with sharp internal cut-ins, faceted corners, and wedge-like terminals that read as flared, bracketed serifs rather than slabs. Counters are tight and often teardrop or diamond-like, with pointed joins and notched intersections that give many glyphs a carved, beveled feel. The rhythm is dense and vertical, with sturdy stems, short crossbars, and a slightly condensed impression in text despite overall regular widths across the set.
Best suited to display typography where its carved details and strong silhouette can be appreciated—such as posters, headlines, event titles, branded wordmarks, packaging, and bold signage. It also works well for short, high-impact lines where a historic or gothic flavor is desired.
The font projects a gothic, old-world mood with a ceremonial, poster-like authority. Its chiseled details and dark color create a dramatic, assertive tone that feels historic and ornamental rather than neutral or contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a traditional, engraved sensibility—using flared serifs and beveled, notched shaping to evoke craftsmanship and historical display lettering while keeping stroke contrast minimal for a solid, emphatic texture.
Distinctive cutaway shaping appears throughout (notches at joins, angular apertures, and faceted curves), which increases character at display sizes but can darken and close up in smaller settings. Numerals follow the same blocky, sculpted logic, maintaining a consistent texture and weight across mixed alphanumeric lines.
