A compact, angular display serif with blackletter-adjacent construction and sharply tapered, wedge-like terminals. Strokes are heavy and mostly even, with crisp corners and frequent diagonal cuts that create a chiseled, faceted texture. Capitals are tall and rigid with strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, upright rhythm with narrow counters and clipped joins. Numerals match the same carved geometry, keeping a consistent, poster-ready silhouette across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, mastheads, brand marks, labels, and titles where its angular detailing can be appreciated. It performs especially well when set large, where the clipped corners and wedge terminals remain clear and contribute to a distinctive, historic display voice.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking sign-painting, heraldry, and old-world gravitas. Its sharp terminals and dense color give it a stern, authoritative feel that reads as traditional, dramatic, and slightly ominous.
The letterforms appear designed to blend traditional serif structure with blackletter-like angularity, prioritizing a bold, carved texture and a strong vertical stance. The intent reads as decorative and identity-driven, offering an instantly recognizable, old-world display tone rather than neutral text typography.
The design relies on pronounced wedge serifs and angled stroke endings to create a saw-tooth rhythm along baselines and cap lines. Interior spaces are tight and rectilinear, which increases visual weight and amplifies the engraved, monumental impression in words and headlines.
