This typeface is built from straight strokes and sharply faceted joins, replacing curves with planar angles and triangular cuts. Stems read mostly monoline with minimal contrast, and terminals tend to end in pointed or beveled wedges. Many counters are diamond- or triangle-like, producing a crisp, carved rhythm and a slightly irregular, hand-cut texture despite consistent stroke weight. Proportions are relatively compact, with tall verticals and open spacing that helps the angular forms stay legible in words.
It works best for display settings where texture and theme are more important than long-form readability—such as game titles, fantasy or historical branding, book and album covers, posters, and short signage. Larger sizes help the wedge terminals and faceted counters read cleanly, especially in mixed-case lines.
The overall tone is rune-like and archaic, evoking inscriptions, blades, and carved signage rather than modern neutrality. Its sharp geometry and pointed details give it a dramatic, adventurous feel that leans toward fantasy and mythic storytelling.
The design appears intended to translate carved or runic letterforms into a consistent, typable alphabet, using straight segments and beveled cuts to suggest engraving. It prioritizes thematic impact and a sharp, crafted silhouette while keeping strokes simple enough for cohesive word shapes.
Distinctive diamond motifs appear in several glyphs and the numerals, reinforcing the faceted theme. The lowercase maintains the same angular construction as the uppercase, avoiding round forms and keeping a cohesive, chiselled voice across text.
