A dense, angular display serif with strongly faceted outer contours and small wedge-like terminals that read as carved or chiseled. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with most curves squared off into octagonal forms; counters are compact and often rectangular, giving the glyphs a solid, block-built feel. The lowercase follows the same construction with simplified, sturdy shapes and minimal curvature, while capitals carry more pronounced corner cuts and notched joins. Spacing feels tight and the texture is dark and continuous, producing an even, imposing typographic color in lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where a strong historical or decorative voice is desired: posters, mastheads, logotypes, labels, and signage. It will be most effective at medium to large sizes where the carved details and angular terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is assertive and old-world, evoking gothic signpainting, heraldic lettering, and frontier-era poster typography. Its hard angles and carved details suggest tradition, strength, and a ceremonial or institutional gravitas.
The design appears intended to modernize historic gothic and western letterforms into a compact, high-impact display face, emphasizing chiseled geometry and a dark, uniform texture for attention-grabbing titles.
In longer strings, the pronounced corner cuts and tight counters create a distinctive patterned rhythm, while interior notches and vertical emphasis add a subtle blackletter flavor without fully adopting fraktur forms. Numerals match the same squared, chamfered construction for consistent headline use.
