This typeface features compact, vertical letterforms built from firm, mostly even-weight strokes and sharply cut terminals. Serifs are wedge-like and bracketed, with frequent chamfered corners that create an incised, chiseled impression rather than soft curves. Counters tend toward angular, polygonal shapes (notably in C, G, O, Q, and numerals), and joins are crisp, emphasizing a carved, architectural rhythm. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly condensed, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable structure with pronounced verticals and minimal curvature.
It performs best in titles and short blocks where the angular details can be appreciated—posters, mastheads, labels, and branded headlines. The strong, compact texture also suits team or collegiate-style applications, signage, and heritage-leaning packaging where a firm, traditional voice is desired.
The overall tone reads as traditional and formal with a distinctly old-world, Gothic-leaning flavor. Its sharp cuts and sturdy proportions evoke signage, crests, and historical printing, projecting authority and a slightly dramatic, ceremonial character.
The design appears intended to blend a classic serif foundation with decorative, carved-like detailing—using chamfered corners and wedge serifs to create a bold, authoritative display face. The consistent angular construction suggests a goal of high impact and a coherent historic or emblematic feel in both uppercase and mixed-case settings.
The font maintains a consistent system of chamfers and wedge serifs across letters and figures, giving text a strong texture at display sizes. Numerals are especially geometric, with octagonal bowls and emphatic corners that match the uppercase style.
