A heavy, angular display face with faceted, polygonal strokes that feel cut from a stencil or carved from a block. Corners terminate in sharp points and short bevels, producing a consistent chiseled rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are small and geometric (often hexagonal or diamond-like), and joins create abrupt directional changes rather than smooth curves. The lowercase echoes the uppercase construction with simplified, compact forms and occasional vertical emphasis, while numerals follow the same carved, segmented logic for a unified set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, album or game titles, event graphics, and bold brand marks where its carved, angular texture can be a focal point. It can also work for packaging or signage that benefits from a medieval-meets-arcade tone; extended text will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous leading.
The letterforms evoke a gothic/medieval flavor while staying bold and cartoonish, giving it a mischievous, game-like personality. Its sharp facets and compact counters suggest something forged, cut, or etched, balancing historical blackletter associations with a modern novelty edge.
Likely designed as a distinctive display face that merges blackletter-inspired construction with chunky geometric cuts, prioritizing silhouette, texture, and character over neutrality. The goal appears to be immediate recognizability and a strong thematic voice for titles and branding.
Spacing and silhouette are intentionally irregular in a display-friendly way, with some glyphs reading as assembled from discrete slabs. The consistent use of bevels and pointed terminals helps keep the set cohesive even where individual letters become quirky or unconventional.
