This typeface uses heavy, geometric letterforms with strongly angled joins and faceted corners, giving many bowls and counters an octagonal feel. Serifs are pronounced and wedge-like with sharp terminals, while horizontals and verticals keep a consistent, blocky rhythm. Curves are tightened into chamfered arcs, and internal counters (notably in O, D, and 8) appear squarish and compact. The lowercase maintains the same constructed, carved quality, with a sturdy, upright stance and simplified curves that echo the uppercase.
Best suited to display roles where its dense color and chiseled detailing can read clearly: headlines, posters, labels, and branding marks. It also works well for signage or themed materials where a historic, heraldic, or gothic atmosphere is desired.
The overall tone reads as gothic and ceremonial, with a carved-stone or engraved-metal presence. Its dark, structured texture and sharp wedges suggest tradition, authority, and a slightly medieval or old-world flavor rather than casual modernity.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter and inscriptional cues into a sturdy, geometric display serif. By replacing soft curves with chamfers and emphasizing wedge terminals, it aims to produce a forceful, traditional voice that holds up at large sizes and creates a strong graphic silhouette.
Spacing and proportions create a dense, poster-like color on the page, and the distinctive faceting is consistent across letters and numerals. Diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and forceful, and the numerals share the same angular, cut-corner construction for a cohesive set.
