A decorative serif with a chiseled, angular construction and pronounced wedge-like terminals. Strokes are predominantly straight and planar, with frequent sharp corners, notched joins, and occasional internal cut-ins that create a faceted, carved look. Counters tend to be squarish and compact, apertures are tight, and the overall texture is dense and assertive, especially in uppercase. Lowercase maintains the same geometric, cut-steel logic, with blocky bowls and short, abrupt shoulders; figures are similarly squared with strong cornering and clear, graphic silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where its carved serifs and sharp, faceted geometry can be appreciated—posters, headlines, titles, and brand marks. It can also work well on packaging or labels that benefit from a traditional, craft, or gothic tone, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking signage, crests, and historical display typography rather than everyday text. Its heavy, architectural rhythm reads as authoritative and theatrical, with a crafted, old-world flavor.
The design intent appears to be a bold, attention-forward display serif that references gothic and inscriptional letterforms through angular wedge serifs and beveled detailing. It prioritizes iconic silhouettes and a dramatic page color over neutral readability, aiming to deliver a strong historical and emblematic presence.
Spacing appears visually tight in running text due to the compact counters and strong vertical presence, which increases color and impact at larger sizes. Several shapes incorporate distinctive angular incisions and asymmetrical details that add character but can reduce clarity when set small or densely.
