A tightly condensed decorative serif with heavy, even-weight strokes and sharply chamfered corners that create an octagonal, cut-metal silhouette. Terminals end in small, flared wedge serifs, and curves are largely squarish rather than fully round, giving bowls and apertures a faceted feel. The rhythm is compact and vertical, with tall lowercase and assertive capitals; counters are relatively small for the weight, keeping the overall texture dark and blocky. Numerals and capitals follow the same chiseled geometry for a consistent, sign-ready appearance.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short emphatic statements where its condensed, faceted structure can deliver impact. It also works well for logotypes, team or collegiate-style branding, event titles, and packaging or label applications that benefit from a rugged, vintage display voice.
The face projects a bold, traditional display tone with a mix of old-world blackletter poster energy and American collegiate/woodtype signaling. Its sharp facets and wedge serifs read as rugged and emphatic, lending a stamped, carved, or engraved impression.
Likely designed as a high-impact display serif that combines condensed proportions with chiseled, beveled detailing to evoke engraved lettering and classic show-poster typography while staying visually consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
In longer lines, the dense texture and narrow widths create strong horizontal bands, so generous tracking and line spacing can help preserve clarity. The distinctive faceting is a key identity feature and becomes most legible at headline sizes or when given ample contrast against the background.
