A compact, angular serif design with a chiseled, nearly monoline build and pronounced triangular spurs at terminals. Stems are straight and sturdy, corners are hard and squared, and curves are minimized into faceted arcs, giving many counters a rectangular feel. Serifs read as sharp wedges rather than smooth brackets, and several forms (notably diagonals and joins) show deliberate notches and cut-ins that create a crisp, carved rhythm. Capitals are tall and regimented; lowercase maintains a consistent, blocky texture with short ascenders/descenders and tight internal spaces, while numerals follow the same architectural, squared-off construction.
Best suited to display sizes where its carved details and wedge terminals can be appreciated—such as headlines, editorial openers, posters, labels, and identity work. It can also work for short, high-impact settings like invitations, certificates, or signage where a historic, authoritative flavor is desired.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking engraved signage, heraldic lettering, and old-world display typography. Its sharp spurs and compact proportions add a stern, authoritative voice, while the decorative cut-ins bring a crafted, ornamental edge that feels theatrical rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to merge blackletter-era energy with a more geometric, constructed serif framework: tight, upright forms, sharp spurs, and rectilinear counters combine to produce a bold, emblematic texture that reads as engraved and formal.
In running text, the dense vertical patterning and tight counters create a dark, emphatic color, with distinctive silhouettes on letters like W, M, and Q adding strong personality. The punctuation and dot elements appear square and weighty, reinforcing the geometric, constructed impression.
