A compact, serifed display face with a blackletter-inflected skeleton and strongly angular construction. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, while terminals and joins are cut with crisp, chamfered facets that create an incised, octagonal rhythm across bowls, counters, and corners. The capitals are tall and structured with pronounced verticality and squared-off curves; lowercase forms echo the same faceted geometry with relatively tight apertures and sturdy, straight-sided stems. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic, emphasizing straight segments and clipped curves for a cohesive, poster-forward texture.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, mastheads, album or event posters, and branding where a historic or ceremonial atmosphere is desired. It can also work well for labels, packaging, and signage that benefit from a chiseled, old-world presence.
The overall tone is Gothic and ceremonial, suggesting medieval signpainting and heraldic lettering rather than contemporary text typography. Its sharp bevels and disciplined vertical rhythm give it a stern, authoritative voice with a slightly theatrical, fantasy-leaning edge.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with blackletter-style angularity, prioritizing a carved, architectural look over smooth calligraphic curves. Its consistent stroke weight and faceted terminals aim to deliver strong impact and a distinctive period flavor in display sizes.
In continuous text the faceted corners create a lively, glittering texture, with the most character coming from clipped curves and pointed interior angles. The design reads cleanly at larger sizes where the chamfers and internal cuts remain distinct and intentional.
