A chunky, angular display face built from faceted, octagonal forms with frequent chamfered corners and wedge-like notches. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with counters punched out as small rectangular or polygonal openings that keep the rhythm tight and graphic. Curves are mostly implied through diagonal cuts rather than true rounds, producing a crisp, mechanical silhouette and a slightly irregular, hand-cut feel. The lowercase keeps a tall, compact footprint with simplified joins, while the numerals follow the same beveled geometry for a consistent, emblem-like set.
Ideal for posters, title treatments, and logo/wordmark work where a bold, stylized texture is a feature rather than a liability. It also suits game titles, fantasy- or metal-adjacent graphics, and packaging or merch that benefits from a carved, emblematic look. Use at medium-to-large sizes to preserve the interior cut details.
The overall tone mixes blackletter heft with a game-like, cut-stencil energy—simultaneously medieval and arcade. Its sharp facets and dense black shapes feel assertive and a bit menacing, but the quirky internal cuts and quirky letter skeletons add a playful, wacky edge.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke a blackletter-inspired display voice using geometric bevels and notch cuts, prioritizing a striking silhouette and thematic texture over neutral readability. The consistent faceting across caps, lowercase, and figures suggests an intention to feel like a unified set of carved symbols for attention-grabbing typography.
The design reads best when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing so the interior notches and counters don’t visually clog. In longer lines, the heavy texture creates a strong wall of black, which can be effective as a deliberate stylistic statement but is best reserved for short bursts.
