A sharply angular display face with blackletter-inspired construction and a geometric, chiseled feel. Strokes are mostly straight and vertical with frequent right-angle turns, small wedge-like spurs, and faceted corners that give many terminals a cut-metal look. Counters are tight and rectangular, curves are minimized, and the overall rhythm is compact and modular, with a mix of narrow letters and wider forms creating a lively, uneven texture across words.
Best suited for short-form display use such as logos, titles, posters, packaging, and headers where the distinctive shapes can be read at larger sizes. It can work well for fantasy or retro-arcade themed graphics, game UI elements, and event branding that benefits from a cryptic, ornamental texture.
The tone reads as medieval-meets-machine: dark and arcane at a glance, but also quirky and game-like due to the squared forms and idiosyncratic shapes. It suggests fantasy signage, secret alphabets, or puzzle aesthetics—dramatic without being traditionally calligraphic.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter/insular cues through a rigid, geometric lens, prioritizing characterful silhouettes and decorative edge details over continuous pen-like flow. Its goal is to deliver an instantly recognizable, thematic voice for display typography rather than neutral text reading.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent angular vocabulary, making mixed-case text feel cohesive and highly stylized. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with strong horizontals and clipped corners that keep the set visually unified.
