This typeface is built from straight strokes and faceted curves, with corners consistently chamfered into octagonal-like joins. Strokes are largely even in thickness, and terminals often finish in small triangular spurs that read as crisp, cut serifs. Round letters such as O, C, and G become polygonal bowls, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are sharp and tightly controlled. Lowercase forms maintain the same carved geometry, with a single-storey a and g and a distinctive, hook-like j and y that reinforce the angular rhythm. Figures follow the same faceted construction, producing sturdy, emblematic numerals with squared counters and clipped corners.
This font is best suited to display settings where its faceted silhouettes can carry personality—headlines, posters, titles, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work well for thematic applications such as fantasy or historical interfaces and signage, where the carved, heraldic feel supports the content.
The overall tone feels medieval and heraldic, like lettering carved in stone or cut from wood or metal. Its sharp facets and spurred terminals give it a ceremonial, old-world character that reads as assertive and slightly gothic without becoming overly ornate.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke carved or forged inscriptional lettering through consistent chamfers, polygonal bowls, and small spurred terminals. The aim seems to be a distinctive medieval-leaning serif voice that remains structured and legible while emphasizing a hard, crafted geometry.
The design stays highly consistent in its chamfer logic across caps, lowercase, and numerals, which creates a strong texture in paragraphs and a particularly bold silhouette in short words. The spurs are subtle but frequent enough to keep the serif presence visible even at display sizes.
