A sharply faceted decorative serif with heavy vertical stems, compact counters, and pronounced wedge-like terminals. The letterforms are built from straight segments with clipped corners and beveled joins, creating an incised, chiseled silhouette rather than smooth curves. Capitals feel monumental and blocky with squared bowls and notched intersections, while the lowercase keeps a tall, sturdy structure with narrow apertures and pointed serifs. Numerals match the same chamfered geometry, maintaining a consistent, carved rhythm across the set.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and brand marks where its angular detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can work well for packaging and signage that aims for a historic, artisanal, or institutional voice, and for short text elements where density and strong rhythm are desirable.
The overall tone is traditional and ceremonial, evoking old-world signage and gothic display typography. Its hard angles and weighty presence communicate authority and a slightly dramatic, historic atmosphere, with a strong sense of craft and ornament without becoming delicate.
The font appears designed to translate blackletter and engraved-serif cues into a more geometric, display-oriented construction, prioritizing impact, symmetry, and a carved aesthetic. Its consistent beveling and wedge terminals suggest an intention to feel architectural and emblematic across both letters and figures.
The design relies on consistent chamfers and triangular spurs to imply carved edges, which increases sparkle at large sizes but can close up in small settings due to tight interior spaces. Diagonal strokes (like in K, V, W, X) are broad and planar, reinforcing a sturdy, engraved look and a dense texture in text.
