A decorative serif design with a distinctly angular, faceted construction and chiseled terminals. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, with small wedge-like serifs and sharp notches that create a cut-paper or carved look. The uppercase is compact and blocky with squared counters (notably in O, D, and G), while the lowercase carries a slightly more calligraphic rhythm through irregular joins and pointed feet. Overall spacing and sidebearings feel intentionally varied, contributing to an energetic, uneven texture in words.
Best suited to short display settings such as posters, mastheads, title cards, labels, and event branding where its angular detail can be appreciated. It reads clearly at larger sizes and can add period flavor to packaging or signage, but its spiky texture and variable rhythm make it less ideal for long passages or small UI text.
The letterforms evoke a medieval-to-victorian display sensibility with a Gothic and heraldic tone. Its sharp facets and emphatic terminals feel formal, traditional, and slightly ominous, lending a dramatic, ceremonial voice rather than a neutral one.
The design appears intended as a characterful display serif that borrows from blackletter and carved inscription traditions while remaining structurally upright and legible. Its faceting, wedge serifs, and squared counters prioritize atmosphere and impact, aiming for a distinctive historical or fantasy-leaning voice in modern composition.
Distinctive shapes like the polygonal O/0 forms, the diamond-like i/j dots, and the sharply kinked diagonals (K, X, Y, V, W) reinforce the cut, architectural theme. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with the 0 featuring a diagonal slash and the 8 built from stacked polygonal bowls.
