A condensed, heavy display serif with a chiseled, angular construction and sharply cut corners throughout. Strokes are largely uniform in thickness, but terminals and joins introduce wedge-like flares and spurred serif details that create a carved, faceted look. Counters tend to be tight and rectangular, with squared bowls and notched interior angles, while verticals dominate and horizontals are short and blunt. The overall rhythm is rigid and architectural, emphasizing straight segments, clipped curves, and crisp edge transitions.
Best suited to short display text such as posters, headlines, brand marks, product packaging, and signage where its dense, chiseled texture can read as intentional character. It performs particularly well at medium-to-large sizes where the sharp notches, spurs, and rectangular counters remain clear.
The face reads as bold and old-world, evoking signage and lettering associated with frontier, gothic, and heraldic traditions. Its sharp, cut-in details and compact proportions give it a commanding, slightly severe tone that feels ceremonial and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif letterforms through a decorative, cut-stone or woodtype-inspired lens, prioritizing impact and stylistic identity over neutrality. Its tight proportions and repeating angular motifs aim to create a strong, uniform color and a memorable silhouette in display typography.
Uppercase forms appear especially blocky and imposing, while lowercase maintains the same angular logic with simplified, squared-off curves and small, sharp serifs. Numerals match the same carved style, with strong vertical emphasis and abrupt terminals, supporting consistent texture in headline settings.
