A sharp, faceted display sans built from straight strokes and planar angles, with virtually no true curves. Strokes read as monoline, while terminals are cut into wedges and points that create a chiseled, hand-cut silhouette. Proportions skew condensed overall, with tight counters and a lively, uneven rhythm driven by asymmetric joins and diagonals. Many forms use diamond-like bowls and triangular apertures, giving the alphabet a consistent, carved geometry across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best used at display sizes where the faceted construction and pointed terminals can be appreciated—titles, logos, packaging, and headline typography for fantasy, horror, or adventure-themed work. It can also add character to short UI labels or chapter heads, but longer passages may benefit from generous size and spacing to keep the angular texture from feeling dense.
The tone is rune-like and arcane, suggesting carved marks, sigils, and coded inscriptions. Its spiky angles and deliberate irregularity add tension and drama, reading as bold and slightly ominous rather than friendly or neutral. The texture feels handmade and ritualistic, with a fantasy/adventure flavor.
The design appears intended to evoke a carved, runic aesthetic using a modern, geometric construction: straight strokes, wedge cuts, and diamond counters that unify the set. It prioritizes atmosphere and distinctive letterforms, aiming for a stylized inscription look suitable for dramatic branding and titling.
In text, the pointed terminals and diamond counters create a strong sparkle and high visual activity, especially around letters with angled bowls and sharp diagonals. The design favors distinctive silhouettes over smooth reading flow, and the numerals follow the same faceted logic for a cohesive set.
