A high-contrast serif with crisp, incised-looking construction and frequent chamfered corners that create an octagonal rhythm in bowls and counters. Strokes move between hairline-thin horizontals and heavier verticals, with sharp joins and squared terminals that read as cut or carved rather than penned. Serifs are relatively fine and pointed, and many curves are subtly flattened or faceted, giving letters like C, O, and Q a distinctive angular silhouette. Proportions are fairly compact with a steady cap height and a moderate x-height, while the overall spacing feels measured and formal.
This font is best suited to display and short-to-medium text where its sharp contrast and faceted detailing can be appreciated—headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and formal invitations. It also works well for heritage branding or packaging that aims for an engraved or traditional print feel, especially at larger sizes where the fine serifs and angular corners remain clear.
The faceted, engraved tone evokes old-world printing, sign lettering, and gothic-leaning editorial typography. It feels sober and authoritative, with a slightly ornamental edge created by the cut-corner geometry and needle-like serifs. The overall impression is ceremonial and traditional rather than casual or contemporary.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif through an engraved, cut-stone or metal type sensibility. By faceting curves and emphasizing sharp contrast, it aims to project tradition and authority while adding a distinctive decorative signature that separates it from standard text serifs.
The design mixes classical serif structure with decorative, machined-looking detailing, especially in rounded forms and in numerals that appear constructed from straight segments. Lowercase includes tall ascenders and a narrow, upright rhythm that maintains the carved aesthetic across text settings.
