A heavy, compact sans with sharply angular construction and distinctive flared terminals that read like chiseled cuts rather than true serifs. Strokes are largely monoline in feel, with crisp corners, beveled joins, and frequent triangular notches that create an engraved, blackletter-adjacent texture. The rhythm is tight with strong vertical emphasis and short, squared counters; curves are restrained and often faceted. Uppercase forms feel stout and architectural, while the lowercase keeps the same carved logic, producing a consistent, high-impact color in text.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, headlines, logotypes, packaging, and signage where its sharp, carved details can read clearly. It can also work for short thematic passages or pull quotes when a medieval or gothic atmosphere is desired, but is less appropriate for long-form body text due to its dense texture.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking medieval signage and engraved lettering with a dramatic, slightly ominous edge. Its sharp cuts and compact density give it a forceful, authoritative voice that can feel historic, fantasy-leaning, or theatrical depending on context.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, sans-based take on blackletter and engraved lettering cues—prioritizing impact, distinctive texture, and a historic or fantasy-forward mood while keeping a relatively clean, upright structure.
The design’s identifying feature is its repeated wedge-like flares and notched stroke endings, which add texture and personality but also increase visual busyness at smaller sizes. The numerals follow the same faceted, carved style, helping headings and short callouts maintain a cohesive look across letters and numbers.
