A heavy, faceted serif with broad, compact letterforms and crisp angular joins. Strokes are largely monolinear in feel, with weighty verticals and diagonals that end in pointed, forked terminals and small mid-stem spurs, giving many shapes a carved, beveled silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are restrained, producing a dense texture in text. The uppercase is strong and blocky, while the lowercase keeps sturdy proportions with simplified, geometric bowls and pronounced spur details; numerals match the same chunky, cut-stone construction.
Best suited to display settings where its carved, spur-heavy detailing can be appreciated—headlines, mastheads, titles, and branding marks. It can also work for packaging, certificates, and editorial pull quotes when a historic or heraldic voice is desired, while longer passages benefit from generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, with a bold, declarative presence that reads as traditional and imposing. The sharp terminals and chiseled edges add a rugged, gothic flavor that suggests lineage, authority, and pageantry rather than softness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to evoke a traditional blackletter-adjacent mood through serifed, faceted construction and forked terminals, while keeping the underlying letterforms clear and sturdy. It prioritizes bold legibility and a sculpted, emblematic look for high-impact typography.
The rhythm in paragraphs is dark and emphatic, with strong silhouette variety from the angular terminals and notched joins. The design favors impact over delicacy, so small sizes may feel dense compared with more open text serifs.
