A decorative serif with a monoline, faceted construction that turns bowls and curves into straight segments and chamfered corners. Strokes stay even in weight while terminals often finish in pointed, wedge-like serifs, giving the outlines a crisp, cut-stone feel. Proportions are moderately narrow with tall capitals and a disciplined vertical stance, while rounded forms like O/0 and C show an octagonal geometry. The lowercase keeps the same angular logic, mixing sharp joins with occasional hooked or flag-like terminals that add texture without increasing stroke contrast.
Best suited for display settings such as titles, posters, packaging, and identity work where the angular, engraved personality can be a key visual cue. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when set large enough to preserve the crisp chamfers and pointed serif details.
The overall tone is gothic and heraldic, evoking engraved inscriptions, blackletter-adjacent signage, and storybook medieval styling. Its sharp corners and pointed serifs create a stern, dramatic voice with an old-world, ceremonial character.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif structure through an angular, faceted lens, trading smooth curves for chamfered geometry to suggest engraving, stone carving, and historical lettering. The consistent monoline approach keeps the decorative construction controlled and legible while emphasizing a distinctive period mood.
The numerals and round letters read as polygonal rather than truly curved, which enhances a technical, carved aesthetic. In text, the consistent stroke weight and strong vertical rhythm keep lines orderly, while the many corners add sparkle and a slightly prickly texture, especially at smaller sizes.
