A sharply angular display sans with tall, compressed proportions and wedge-like terminals. Strokes are predominantly monolinear in feel, but end in pointed tips and triangular notches that create a carved, blade-cut impression. Curves are tightened into faceted bowls (notably in C, G, O, and S), and counters tend to be compact and geometric. The rhythm is vertical and staccato, with frequent sharp joins and a slightly irregular, hand-cut silhouette that keeps the texture lively in all-caps and mixed-case settings.
Best suited for short-form display use where its spiky silhouette can be appreciated: posters, game titles and UI accents, fantasy or horror packaging, chapter headings, and event branding. It can work for pull quotes or subheads when given generous tracking and ample line spacing, but the dense counters and sharp detailing make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The letterforms evoke a dark, theatrical tone—part gothic signage, part fantasy title card. Its pointed terminals and chiseled edges suggest mystery and tension, lending an adventurous, story-driven mood rather than a neutral, everyday voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a stylized, carved-letter look with a strong vertical presence and a dramatic, genre-forward personality. By combining condensed proportions with pointed terminals and faceted curves, it aims to create instant atmosphere and memorable wordmarks.
Distinctive, emblem-like capitals (especially A, M, N, W, and X) create strong icon shapes, while the lowercase maintains the same sharp terminal language for cohesive mixing. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, with dramatic diagonals and tapered ends that read best at larger sizes.
