A heavy, compact serif with blocky construction and sharply cut, wedge-like terminals. Strokes are generally straight and planar with pronounced notches and interior angles, creating an engraved, chiseled feel rather than a smooth transitional rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and often polygonal, with squared shoulders and consistent vertical stress; curves (like C, O, S) are built from faceted arcs. Serifs read as short, bracketed-to-flared wedges integrated into the stems, and the overall texture is dark and assertive with strong silhouettes and sturdy spacing.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and branding moments where a strong, traditional voice is desired. It also works well for packaging labels and logo wordmarks that benefit from a rugged, crafted aesthetic, especially in short phrases and large-scale settings.
The tone is bold and old-world, evoking wood-type posters, frontier signage, and utilitarian print ephemera. Its sharp cuts and faceted curves add a stern, crafted character that feels rugged, traditional, and attention-commanding.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif letterforms through a faceted, engraved/wood-type lens, prioritizing silhouette strength and decorative terminal cuts. It aims for high impact and a recognizable historical flavor rather than quiet, continuous-text neutrality.
The lowercase follows the same angular logic as the caps, keeping a unified, display-forward voice. Numerals appear similarly blocky and cut, with straightforward forms designed for impact rather than subtlety, and the overall rhythm favors strong shapes and clear word blocks at larger sizes.
