This typeface presents an angular serif design with pointed, flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that feel cut rather than softly bracketed. Stems are generally straight and narrow, with moderate thick–thin modulation that reads as calligraphic rather than strictly transitional. Many curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are slightly faceted, and joins often resolve into crisp points, giving the letters a chiseled, high-contrast silhouette against the page. Counters are compact and the overall rhythm is tight, while capitals maintain a stately presence with sharp apexes and pronounced finishing strokes.
It works best for display and short-form settings such as book titles, chapter openers, headlines, posters, and themed editorial layouts where its historical flavor can carry the message. It can also suit packaging or identity work that benefits from an old-world, crafted impression, especially at sizes large enough to preserve the sharp terminal detail.
The tone is historic and ceremonial, evoking manuscript and early-print traditions with a faintly gothic edge. Its sharp terminals and faceted curves create a dramatic, slightly austere color that feels authoritative and storybook-like rather than modern or neutral.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional gothic/blackletter-adjacent cues within a readable serif framework, combining calligraphic modulation with crisp, carved-looking terminals. The goal seems to be a distinctive historical voice suitable for dramatic titling while maintaining familiar roman letterforms for legibility.
The lowercase shows a distinct, old-style texture: narrow bowls, angular shoulders, and a lively mix of straight strokes and kinked curves that keeps long text visually active. Numerals follow the same carved, pointed language, with angled spurs and tapered ends that match the cap and lowercase detailing.
