A jagged, monoline display face built from straight segments and hard corners, with frequent notches, bracket-like joins, and small terminal nubs that give strokes a carved or riveted feel. Curves are minimized in favor of angular geometry, while counters often read as squared or boxed shapes. Proportions are intentionally inconsistent across letters, creating a restless rhythm and uneven texture; many forms look constructed from modular strokes rather than smoothly drawn. The lowercase is compact with a notably short x-height and simple i/j dots, and numerals echo the same boxed, mechanical construction.
Best suited to short display settings where its carved, eccentric construction can be appreciated—title treatments, posters, game or tabletop RPG materials, themed packaging, and spooky or fantastical branding accents. It can also work for headings and pull quotes when set large with added letterspacing to keep the texture from clumping.
The overall tone feels arcane and artifact-like—part runic inscription, part DIY sci‑fi prop lettering. Its irregularities and sharp details read playful yet ominous, suggesting magic, puzzles, or a coded message rather than everyday text.
The font appears designed to evoke an invented, inscriptional alphabet—deliberately irregular and constructed—to deliver character and atmosphere over neutrality. Its modular, notched strokes and boxed counters suggest an intent to feel hand-built, coded, and slightly unsettling in a way that stands out immediately.
In continuous text the repeated corner nubs and internal crossbars create a noisy silhouette, so spacing and size will strongly affect clarity. The design’s distinctive terminals and boxed counters become more legible and impactful at larger sizes and with generous tracking.
