A very heavy, angular serif with pronounced wedge-like terminals and sharply notched joins that create a faceted, carved look. Strokes stay largely uniform, with minimal modulation, while corners and interior cut-ins add a rhythmic pattern of triangular counters and chiseled edges. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with blocky forms and tight apertures that read best at larger sizes. The lowercase follows the same architectural logic, with simplified bowls and strong verticals; the figures are similarly stout and stylized for consistency.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, title treatments, and branding marks where the carved details can be appreciated. It can also work for themed packaging or event materials with a historical or gothic direction, while longer passages will benefit from generous size and tracking.
The overall tone feels medieval and ceremonial, evoking signage, crests, and storybook “old-world” display typography. Its dense black color and hard angles convey authority and drama, with a hint of craft-like, engraved character rather than refined elegance.
The font appears designed as a decorative display serif that prioritizes strong silhouette and themed personality over neutral readability. Its consistent use of wedge terminals and incised cut-ins suggests an intention to mimic engraved or woodcut lettering in a modern, robust form.
The design relies on repeated internal notches and wedge serifs to unify the set, giving lines of text a distinctive sawtooth rhythm along stems and horizontals. Spacing appears intentionally tight and the dark texture can close up in small settings, especially in words with many verticals.
