This typeface is built from crisp, faceted strokes that replace curves with angled planes and pointed terminals. Stems are straight and monoline in feel, with frequent diagonal cuts creating a chiseled, stencil-like rhythm across the alphabet. Counters tend to be compact and polygonal, and many forms rely on notches and sharp joins rather than rounded transitions. Uppercase shapes read as tall and compact with strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase echoes the same angular construction for a consistent texture in text.
Best suited to display applications where its angular detailing can be appreciated: posters, headlines, branding marks, album or event titles, and themed packaging. It can also work for game UI, fantasy or metal-adjacent aesthetics, and short punchy statements where a bold, carved texture is desirable rather than neutral readability.
The overall tone evokes gothic and medieval lettering through its pointed construction and dense, blade-like details, while the clean planar facets add a modern, machined edge. It feels assertive and ceremonial, with a dramatic presence that can read as both historical and industrial depending on context.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter-like sharpness into a simplified, geometric system, using planar facets to suggest engraved or forged letterforms. Its consistent angular logic prioritizes impact and stylistic unity over softness, aiming for a distinctive display voice.
In continuous text the repeated angled cuts create a strong, patterned color and a distinctly “carved” sparkle along verticals and diagonals. Numerals follow the same faceted geometry, keeping a cohesive look for headings or display settings that mix letters and figures.
