A high-contrast serif with crisp, chiseled detailing and a distinctly angular construction. Many curves are subtly flattened into faceted, near-octagonal bowls and rounds, while stems remain straight and clean. Serifs are bracketed and relatively fine, with sharp terminals and occasional spur-like notches that add an engraved feel. Capitals are stately and slightly condensed in impression, with open counters and disciplined spacing; lowercase forms keep a steady rhythm with sturdy verticals and compact joins.
Best suited to display sizes where the faceted curves and sharp serif work can be appreciated—titles, headlines, mastheads, and cover typography. It can also support short editorial passages or formal communications when set with comfortable tracking and leading, and works well for institutional branding or signage that benefits from an engraved, heritage voice.
The overall tone reads formal and institutional, evoking engraved signage, academic seals, and heritage publishing. The faceted curves and sharp terminals add a mildly decorative edge without becoming ornamental, lending a confident, old-world authority.
Likely designed to reinterpret a classic serif model through a carved, faceted geometry, combining traditional proportions with distinctive angular rounding. The aim appears to be a recognizable, dignified text voice with added character for display and identity-driven settings.
The numerals mirror the letterforms’ faceting—especially in 0, 2, 3, 6, 8, and 9—giving figures a distinctive, carved look. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are clean and pointed, while the round letters (O, C, G, Q) show the most visible polygonal shaping, reinforcing a consistent ‘cut’ motif across the set.
