This typeface is built from hefty, blocky forms with squared bowls and deliberately clipped corners. Strokes maintain a consistently solid thickness, while terminals and joins are treated with angular notches and chamfered cuts that create a faceted, almost engraved rhythm. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and many glyphs show sharp internal corners and stepped diagonals that emphasize a mechanical, constructed feel. The lowercase follows the same geometric logic as the caps, with a tall, sturdy presence and minimal curvature, producing a dense, high-impact texture in setting.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where its angular detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes. It works well for posters, branding marks, packaging accents, and event or team identities that benefit from a strong, commanding look. In longer text, its dense forms and tight counters may feel heavy, so it’s most effective as a primary display face paired with a simpler companion for body copy.
The overall tone feels forceful and ceremonial, blending gothic signpainting energy with a rugged, industrial edge. Its sharp cuts and armored silhouettes read as dramatic and slightly medieval, yet also modern in their geometric discipline. The result is a bold, poster-forward voice that signals intensity and authority.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly impactful display voice by combining traditional serifed structure with blackletter-like corner cuts and a geometric, machined construction. Its consistent notching and squared proportions suggest a deliberate effort to evoke heritage and strength while staying crisp and graphic for modern branding.
The alphabet shows a consistent system of corner cuts and triangular notches that helps differentiate similar shapes (notably in E/F and C/G) while keeping the texture uniform. Numerals match the same squared construction, with angular cut-ins that maintain the family’s distinctive, chiseled look.
