A sharp, faceted display face with broken-stroke construction and crisp, chamfered terminals. Stems are heavy and vertical, with pointed joins and wedge-like cuts that create a carved, blackletter-like rhythm. Counters are relatively narrow and angular, and the overall texture forms an even, dark color with distinct internal notches that articulate each letter. Numerals and capitals follow the same geometric, blade-cut logic, keeping a consistent, disciplined silhouette across the set.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and short statements where the angular detailing can be appreciated. It works well for branding tied to tradition or ritual—such as labels, certificates, event titles, and editorial display—especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The tone is traditional and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and institutional signage. Its dark texture and angular bite read as stern and authoritative, with an old-world gravitas that feels formal and historic rather than casual.
The letterforms appear designed to translate blackletter conventions into a clean, faceted, display-oriented style that feels engraved or cut from solid material. The consistent wedge cuts and disciplined verticals suggest an intention to deliver historic character with strong impact and clear, repeatable geometry.
The design favors strong vertical emphasis and tight apertures, which increases visual density in paragraphs. The repeated diagonal cuts and spurs give the face a rhythmic sparkle at larger sizes, while at smaller sizes the internal breaks can merge into a compact, high-impact texture.
