A compact, heavy display face built from straight strokes and sharp planar facets rather than curves. Forms are tall and tightly spaced with blunt terminals, pointed interior joins, and a consistent vertical emphasis that creates strong, blocky silhouettes. Counters tend to be narrow and geometric, and the lowercase follows the same constructed, angular logic as the caps, producing a cohesive texture with pronounced rhythm in words and lines.
Best used at display sizes where its angular detailing and dense strokes can read clearly. It works well for headlines, branding marks, and short phrases on posters, packaging, editorial titles, and entertainment-oriented artwork where a strong, historic or dramatic voice is desired.
The tone is dark, forceful, and ceremonial, evoking historical lettering and hardened, carved surfaces. Its rigid geometry and dense color give it an assertive presence suited to bold statements and high-contrast headlines.
Likely designed to deliver a blackletter-inspired presence using a more geometric, faceted construction that reproduces cleanly in modern layouts. The emphasis appears to be on impact, consistency across cases and numerals, and a distinctive chiseled texture in text lines.
The design favors legibility through simplified, monoline construction while retaining blackletter-like structure via broken arches, notched joins, and pointed peaks. Numerals and punctuation match the same faceted, wedge-cut vocabulary, maintaining consistency across mixed alphanumeric settings.
