This typeface presents a compact, angular serif structure with pronounced wedge-like terminals and frequent chamfered corners that create a faceted, chiseled impression. Strokes alternate between thick verticals and finer connecting elements, producing a sharp, high-energy rhythm and strong internal contrast. Counters tend to be small and geometric, with octagonal tendencies in rounded forms, and the overall silhouette reads sturdy and squared-off rather than flowing. The lowercase maintains a traditional two-storey structure where expected (notably in a and g) and uses firm, straight-sided stems with tightly controlled apertures, keeping word shapes dense and emphatic.
Best suited for headlines and short blocks where its crisp, carved details can be appreciated—such as posters, mastheads, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It also fits formal or ceremonial applications like certificates, invitations, and editorial section titles where an authoritative, traditional voice is desired.
The design conveys a Gothic, old-world seriousness with a poster-like punch. Its angular detailing and crisp terminals suggest tradition, ceremony, and authority, while the strong contrast and faceting add drama and a slightly militant, banner-and-signage tone.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke classic serif conventions through an angular, blackletter-adjacent lens, prioritizing impact and a distinctive texture over neutral reading comfort. The consistent chamfers and wedge terminals suggest an intention to feel engraved or cut, with a strong, historic visual identity for display-led typography.
In text, the heavy vertical emphasis and tight counters create dark color on the page, especially at larger sizes where the faceted corners and wedge serifs become a defining texture. The numerals and capitals feel particularly emblematic and architectural, reinforcing a display-forward personality even when set in paragraphs.
