A sharp, angular serif with an octagonal, chamfered construction throughout. Strokes stay largely even while terminals flare into pointed wedge serifs, creating a carved, faceted silhouette rather than round curves. Counters are squarish and often clipped at the corners (notably in O/Q and numerals), and diagonals are crisp with clean joins. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and compact ascenders with distinctive notched forms in letters like a, e, s, and t, maintaining a consistent geometric rhythm across the set.
Best suited to display roles where its faceted details can read clearly—headlines, titles, posters, and brand marks. It also fits packaging and signage that benefits from a traditional, authoritative feel, especially where a crisp, engraved look is desired.
The overall tone feels gothic and ceremonial, with a heraldic, old-world authority. Its chiseled angles and sharp serifs evoke engraved signage and institutional wordmarks, giving text a disciplined, formal presence.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif structure with a geometric, chamfered build, producing a decorative face that suggests carved or metal-cut lettering while remaining systematic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
At text sizes the repeated corner cuts and wedge serifs create a lively texture, while the more complex shapes (a, e, s) read as intentionally stylized rather than strictly utilitarian. Numerals follow the same clipped, octagonal logic, helping mixed alphanumeric settings look cohesive.
