A sharply faceted, geometric sans with planar strokes that trade curves for angled cuts and pointed joins. Strokes are consistently solid and low-contrast, with corners often clipped into short diagonals and terminals that end in wedge-like points. Many forms incorporate diamond-shaped counters and triangular notches, creating a distinctly carved look; rounds like O and 0 become lozenge-shaped, and figures such as 8 and 9 echo the same faceted construction. Spacing and rhythm feel slightly irregular in a purposeful, handmade way, while remaining legible at display sizes.
Best suited for display work where its faceted texture can be appreciated: game and film titles, fantasy or mythology-themed book covers, event posters, branding marks, and packaging that aims for a crafted or “ancient” mood. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers, but extended body text may feel visually busy.
The overall tone is evocative of runes, carved stone, and arcane lettering—stylized and atmospheric rather than neutral. Its angular texture adds drama and a crafted, old-world energy that reads as adventurous and a bit ominous, lending itself to storytelling and world-building contexts.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a sans alphabet through a carved, faceted construction—prioritizing mood, icon-like letterforms, and a consistent chiseled geometry over conventional smooth curves. The repeated wedge cuts and diamond counters suggest a deliberate system to keep the texture cohesive across letters and numerals.
The sample text shows strong word-shape texture from repeated wedges and diamond interiors, producing a lively, jagged color across lines. Certain letters lean into emblem-like silhouettes (notably the lozenge O/0 and the notched C/S), which enhances distinctiveness but can reduce smooth readability at smaller sizes.
