A very light, monoline display face built from crisp straight segments and faceted curves, giving many bowls an octagonal feel. Strokes are consistently thin with sharp joins, and the serifs read as small, square-ended slabs that often taper into pointed, spur-like details. Proportions are compact and somewhat condensed, with tall capitals and neatly controlled ascenders/descenders; counters stay open despite the angular construction. Overall rhythm is regular and vertical, with a deliberate, engraved quality rather than calligraphic modulation.
Best suited for short display settings where its angular detailing and delicate strokes can be appreciated—headlines, posters, game/film titles, book covers, and branding marks. It can work for short passages at comfortable sizes, but the fine weight and busy texture suggest avoiding very small text or low-contrast reproduction.
The tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking inscriptions, heraldry, and occult or fantasy titling. Its geometric, chiseled construction also lends a retro-digital or tabletop-game flavor, feeling crafted and slightly mysterious rather than neutral or purely functional.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif structure with an engraved, polygonal construction, offering a distinctive gothic/inscribed voice while remaining orderly and upright for titling. The consistent thin stroke and repeated faceting suggest a systematic, constructed approach aimed at strong atmosphere more than typographic neutrality.
The faceting is especially apparent in round forms (O, C, G, Q and numerals), where corners replace smooth curvature. The lowercase keeps the same angular vocabulary and uses pointed joins and compact terminals, helping the text maintain a consistent, spiky texture across lines.
