A sharply modeled serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly angular, faceted construction. Serifs are wedge-like and brisk, with many terminals cut on diagonals that create a chiseled rhythm across words. Counters tend to be compact and apertures relatively tight, while vertical stems dominate the color and give the design a sturdy, poster-ready presence. The italic is not shown; the roman maintains a firm, upright stance with consistent, high-contrast stroke behavior and brisk join treatment.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, posters, and cover typography where the high-contrast, chiseled detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for certificates, invitations, and institutional branding accents, especially when set with ample size and comfortable line spacing.
The font reads as formal and commanding, with a subtle gothic/inscriptional flavor that suggests tradition and gravitas. Its crisp angles and strong vertical emphasis add a ceremonial, institutional tone suited to statements meant to feel official and weighty.
The design appears intended to blend conventional serif structure with a carved, old-style angularity, delivering a traditional voice with extra visual bite. Its emphasis on strong verticals and decisive wedge terminals suggests a focus on impact and prestige in display and editorial settings.
In the sample text, the dense texture and sharp internal corners create strong word shapes but can feel busy in long paragraphs at smaller sizes. The numerals and capitals carry the same faceted, cut-terminal logic, reinforcing a cohesive, engraved look across headings and display lines.
