A highly angular, faceted display face with monoline strokes and frequent chamfered corners that turn curves into polygonal forms. Many joins terminate in small wedge-like flares, giving stems and crossbars a notched, constructed feel rather than smooth serif behavior. Counters in round letters (C, O, G, Q) read as multi-sided shapes, while diagonals and horizontals keep a crisp, straight-edge rhythm. Overall spacing feels irregularly lively, with distinctive, slightly idiosyncratic letterforms that prioritize character over uniformity.
Best suited for short display settings where the unusual geometry can be appreciated: posters, title cards, book covers, album art, and game or tabletop UI elements. It can also work for branding marks or thematic packaging when a quirky, rune-like flavor is desired, but it will be less comfortable for long passages at small sizes.
The tone is eccentric and slightly arcane—like a carved or etched alphabet meant for puzzles, folklore, or magical ephemera. Its sharp corners and crystalline geometry create a playful tension between medieval suggestion and experimental, one-off display energy.
The design appears intended to transform familiar Latin letterforms into a faceted, carved-looking system, emphasizing distinctive silhouettes and a crafted, ornamental texture. Its consistent polygonal curves and spiked terminals suggest a deliberate move toward an eccentric, themed display alphabet rather than conventional readability.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent faceted construction, and several forms incorporate small pointed terminals that read like tiny spikes or bracketed cuts. Numerals and punctuation follow the same polygonal logic, helping the set feel cohesive as a decorative system.
