A compact, heavy display serif with blackletter-influenced construction and strongly angular, chiseled terminals. Strokes are largely monolinear but shaped with abrupt notches and wedge-like serifs that create a carved, faceted silhouette. Counters are tight and often squared or diamond-like, and joins favor sharp corners over curves, producing a crisp, rigid rhythm. Uppercase forms are tall and commanding, while the lowercase echoes the same vertical, segmented logic with short extenders and blocky bowls.
Best suited for display work where strong texture and historical flavor are desirable—posters, mastheads, title cards, event branding, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for labels and packaging that benefit from a traditional or gothic accent, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The overall tone feels medieval and ceremonial, with a stern, authoritative presence. Its sharp geometry and dense texture suggest tradition, proclamation, and spectacle rather than casual readability. The aesthetic reads as bold and theatrical, evoking heritage signage and dramatic headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive gothic/blackletter echo in a more blocky, typographic display form—prioritizing impact, texture, and a carved, architectural silhouette for short text settings.
The alphabet shows consistent use of pointed wedges at stroke ends and frequent internal cut-ins that add texture at display sizes. Round characters such as O/C/G are rendered with angular approximation, reinforcing the faceted, constructed look. Numerals match the letterforms with the same notched, carved detailing, keeping a uniform voice across text and figures.
