A decorative serif with heavy, even strokes and strongly angular, faceted contours. Counters are largely squared-off or chamfered, and terminals resolve into wedge-like, triangular serifs that create a carved or inscribed feel. Curves are minimized in favor of octagonal and diagonal joins (notably in O/C/G and numerals), producing a crisp, modular rhythm. Lowercase forms keep a sturdy, upright stance with compact bowls and pronounced, directional serifs, while capitals read as blocky and emblematic with clear chamfering at corners.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, and wordmarks where the chiseled details can be appreciated. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a traditional, institutional, or heritage aesthetic. For longer text, it will likely perform better in short bursts (pull quotes, titles) than in dense paragraphs due to its strong texture and angular detail.
The overall tone is traditional and formal with a historic, Gothic-leaning flavor. Its sharp geometry and sturdy weight suggest authority and ceremony, evoking signage, crests, and legacy institutions rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter and inscriptional cues into a more rigid, geometric display serif. By using chamfered corners and wedge serifs with consistent stroke weight, it aims for a bold, emblematic presence that feels historic and crafted while remaining highly structured.
Spacing appears relatively generous for a heavy display face, helping the sharp interior angles stay legible at larger sizes. The numerals and round letters adopt octagonal construction, reinforcing a consistent “cut” motif across the set.
