A heavily stylized display face built from sharp, faceted strokes and wedge-like terminals. Letterforms are predominantly angular with frequent diagonal cuts, creating a chiseled silhouette and a strong black presence. Curved shapes (notably O and Q) are treated as pointed, eye-like ovals with internal triangular counters, while many straight-stem letters feature abrupt notches and irregular joins. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a deliberately uneven rhythm and a hand-carved, emblematic feel rather than a text-linear one.
Best suited to short display settings where its jagged detailing can be appreciated—titles, poster headlines, packaging callouts, and identity marks. It also fits genre-driven applications such as fantasy or horror-themed graphics, tabletop/game UI headings, and music/event artwork where an eccentric, high-impact voice is desired.
The font reads as arcane and mischievous—part medieval fantasy, part punky cut-paper geometry. Its aggressive points and quirky construction give it an eccentric, spellbook-or-sigil tone that feels theatrical and intentionally odd.
The design appears intended to evoke a carved or runic impression through angular cuts, triangular counters, and uneven proportions. Rather than prioritizing smooth reading in long passages, it aims for distinctive personality and instant recognition at larger sizes.
Diagonal incisions and sharp counterforms are a recurring motif, which helps unify the set despite the irregular widths. The digit set follows the same faceted logic, with strong zigzag gestures and distinctive interior cuts that emphasize a graphic, poster-forward look.
