A faceted, angular serif design with strong vertical stress and compact, squared counters. Strokes end in pronounced spurs and flared terminals, creating wedge-like feet and sharp, chiseled joins rather than smooth curves. The capitals are sturdy and architectural, while the lowercase keeps a disciplined rhythm with narrow apertures and distinct, blocky bowls; round forms are rendered as squarish ovals. Diacritics and punctuation follow the same rigid geometry, and the numerals are similarly constructed with straight segments and crisp corners for a unified, emblematic texture.
Best suited to headlines, titling, posters, and branding where a medieval or engraved atmosphere is desirable. It can also work for packaging, signage, and event materials that benefit from a bold, ornamental texture, while longer passages will typically need larger sizes and careful spacing for comfortable reading.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, suggesting stone-carved inscriptions, heraldry, and historical display typography. Its sharp terminals and dense interior shapes read as stern and authoritative, with a distinctly dramatic, old-world character.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke inscriptional and blackletter-adjacent cues through straight-edged construction, spurred serifs, and flared stroke endings, prioritizing impact and historical flavor over neutral text economy.
The design’s tight apertures and emphatic terminals create a dark, patterned color in text, especially at smaller sizes. The sample setting shows best results with generous tracking or at headline sizes where the angular details and spur shapes remain clear.
