A compact, angular display face built from sharp wedges and faceted strokes. Forms are largely upright with a dense, rhythmic texture created by pointed terminals, notched joins, and occasional diamond-like counters (notably in round characters and the zero). Stroke endings often flare into triangular serifs, giving letters a carved, chiseled look. Curves are minimized in favor of broken, polygonal segments, producing a crisp, high-contrast silhouette at larger sizes while keeping widths relatively tight and varied across the set.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, titles, album covers, branding marks, and packaging where a historic or fantasy mood is desired. It can work for short bursts of text in themed layouts, but its dense texture and spiky detailing favor larger sizes and generous spacing.
The tone is distinctly medieval and ceremonial, evoking inscriptions, heraldry, and old-world proclamations. Its sharp, fractured shapes read as forceful and dramatic, with a slightly ominous, arcane edge that suits fantasy and historical themes.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact blackletter atmosphere with a more geometric, cut-stone construction. By prioritizing sharp terminals and fractured curves, it aims to create a bold, emblematic voice that reads quickly as medieval while staying visually consistent across letters and numerals.
Caps carry strong vertical emphasis and aggressive diagonals, while the lowercase maintains the same faceted logic with simplified, readable structures. Numerals follow the same pointed construction, with the 0 and 8 using enclosed, geometric counters that reinforce the engraved aesthetic.
