A decorative serif with a blackletter-leaning structure, built from heavy vertical stems and sharply faceted terminals. Serifs and joins are rendered as crisp wedges and chamfered cuts, producing a carved, beveled silhouette rather than smooth bracketing. Counters are relatively tight and squarish, with pronounced notches and angled shoulders that create a strong, rhythmic texture across words. Uppercase forms feel blocky and monumental, while the lowercase retains the same angular construction with compact bowls and pointed entry/exit details; figures follow the same cut-stone geometry for consistent color in text and display.
Best suited to display settings where its faceted details can be appreciated—titles, posters, packaging, signage, and identity work that wants a historic or gothic flavor. It can work for short bursts of text in large sizes, but the dense texture and tight counters make it less comfortable for extended reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking signpainting, crests, and old-world print. Its sharp facets and dense texture read as forceful and traditional, giving headlines a commanding, slightly ominous drama.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional blackletter and inscriptional cues in a sturdier, more geometric serif construction, prioritizing impact, historical association, and a carved/engraved feel over neutrality.
The face produces a dark, continuous typographic color with frequent internal cut-ins that add sparkle at larger sizes. Spacing appears designed for display impact, with strong word shapes driven by vertical emphasis and angular interruptions rather than flowing curves.
