A sharply angular, condensed display sans built from straight strokes and hard corners, with frequent diagonal shears that create wedge-like terminals. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular, and the internal notches and cut-ins give many letters a faceted, constructed feel rather than a smooth geometric one. The rhythm is vertical and staccato, with narrow sidebearings and pronounced pointed joins in diagonals (notably in letters like A, K, M, N, V, W, and X). Numerals and punctuation match the same blade-cut logic, maintaining a consistent, uniform stroke presence while relying on angled incisions to add character.
Best suited for high-impact display use such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and branding marks where a forceful, angular voice is desired. It also fits entertainment contexts like gaming, horror/fantasy titling, and music-related artwork, where its dense texture and sharp silhouette can carry strong visual presence at larger sizes.
The overall tone is intense and imposing, evoking gothic and metal-adjacent lettering with a modern, machined edge. Its sharp diagonals and compressed stance create a sense of urgency and power, making text feel declarative and confrontational rather than neutral.
The font appears designed to translate blackletter-inspired sharpness into a simplified, sans-based construction, prioritizing a dramatic silhouette and compact word shapes. Its consistent cut angles and tight spacing suggest an intention to create a recognizable, emblematic texture that reads as hard-edged and contemporary.
The design leans on repeated diagonal cuts at terminals and in counters, producing a distinctive ‘carved’ texture across words. In longer lines, the narrow proportions and tight apertures build a dense, high-impact typographic color that favors short settings over extended reading.
