A sharply faceted, geometric sans built from straight strokes and triangular cuts in place of curves. The forms read as monoline with crisp terminals, frequent wedge-shaped joins, and occasional diamond counters, creating a chiseled, planar look. Proportions are condensed overall, with irregular, hand-carved widths across characters; uppercase tends to be taller and more totemic while lowercase simplifies into compact, angular silhouettes. Diacritics and dots appear as small diamond points, reinforcing the consistent “cut-stone” motif.
Best suited for display applications where its angular texture can read clearly: fantasy or horror titles, game branding and interface labels, band/album artwork, poster headlines, and themed packaging. It works especially well when you want a constructed, “carved symbol” feel in short bursts of text rather than long-form reading.
The face conveys a rune-like, occult-leaning mood—mysterious, ritualistic, and slightly aggressive—while still staying legible at display sizes. Its angular rhythm and carved details evoke fantasy title lettering, game UI glyphs, and cryptic signage rather than everyday text typography.
The design appears intended to translate a carved, runic aesthetic into a usable Latin alphabet by replacing curves with planar facets and emphasizing distinctive, symbolic silhouettes. The consistent use of wedges and diamond details suggests a goal of strong recognizability and thematic atmosphere in headline settings.
Spacing and stroke rhythm create a jagged texture in lines of text, with strong vertical accents (I, l, t) and distinctive diamond/lozenge forms (notably in O/0-like shapes) that stand out as graphic anchors. Numerals and punctuation follow the same faceted language, helping headlines and short phrases feel cohesive and emblematic.
