A high-contrast serif design with sharply tapered, flared terminals and frequent chamfered corners that give many bowls and counters an octagonal, cut-stone feel. Strokes alternate between very thin hairlines and sturdy verticals, with crisp, squared-off joins and a generally narrow-to-moderate rhythm that varies by glyph. Uppercase forms mix classical proportions (notably the A, M, and N) with decorative, faceted constructions in letters like C, D, O, Q, and S, producing a distinctive, engineered texture. Lowercase is compact and sturdy, with blocky arches and short, decisive serifs; the roman structure remains upright and disciplined, while details like the single-storey a and the angular o reinforce the faceted theme. Numerals follow the same chiseled geometry, with boxed shapes and clipped corners that keep the set visually consistent.
Best suited to display contexts where its contrast and faceted detailing can read clearly: headlines, book or film titles, posters, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for short formal text elements such as pull quotes, menus, or signage where a carved, traditional-yet-graphic tone is desired.
The overall tone feels formal and slightly theatrical, like lettering carved into metal or stone. Its faceted edges and hairline accents suggest a historic or institutional mood, while the angular construction lends a confident, poster-like presence.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif voice through angular, beveled geometry—combining classical upright structures with chiseled corners and hairline accents to create a decorative, engraved impression with strong presence in display typography.
Spacing appears designed to tolerate tight settings, with many glyphs having firm, straight-sided silhouettes that create a strong vertical cadence. The mix of delicate inline-like hairlines and bold outer strokes can produce lively sparkle at display sizes, while the more geometric, chamfered rounds contribute to a distinctive, decorative identity.
