An angular, faceted sans with stroke ends cut into sharp points and wedges, substituting planar facets for curves. Strokes maintain a mostly even thickness, while diagonals and notched joins create a fractured, carved rhythm. Counters are small and often diamond-like, and several letters rely on triangular apertures and open, broken forms that emphasize negative space. Uppercase shapes are tall and narrow, with irregular widths and slightly offbeat alignment that adds a hand-cut feel; the lowercase echoes the same construction with simplified, stick-and-facet structures and dotted i/j.
Well-suited for titles, logos, and short headlines in fantasy, metal, or occult-themed contexts, as well as game UI headings where a symbolic, carved aesthetic is desired. It can work for packaging accents or signage-inspired graphics when paired with a more neutral text face for body copy.
The overall tone feels runic and ritualistic—more like inscribed symbols than conventional text. Its sharp geometry and pointed terminals lend an aggressive, fantasy-adventure energy, suggesting mythology, dark magic, or archaic signage rather than neutral modernity.
The design appears intended to evoke carved or chiseled letterforms through consistent facets, wedges, and triangular counters, prioritizing character and atmosphere over continuous, smooth readability. Its system of sharp terminals and fractured joints creates a distinctive, emblematic texture that reads as ancient or mythic.
Legibility is strongest at display sizes, where the triangular counters and notch details stay distinct; in smaller text, the broken joins and compressed interiors can merge visually. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, with particularly emblematic, diamond-driven 0/8/9 forms that read as ornamental as much as functional.
