A sharply angular display face with highly irregular, hand-hewn contours and pronounced black mass. Strokes often taper into knife-like points, with wedge terminals and abrupt direction changes that create a carved, cut-paper silhouette. Counters are small and frequently triangular or diamond-like, and several letters incorporate faceted, geometric bowls that read as gemstones or apertures. Spacing and letter widths vary noticeably, producing a restless rhythm; despite that, the set keeps a coherent, consistently jagged construction across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its jagged forms can read clearly—such as posters, game title screens, tabletop fantasy materials, event flyers, and album/cover art. It can also work for logos or labels that benefit from a carved, talismanic feel, especially when given generous size and slightly open tracking.
The overall tone feels arcane and theatrical—suggesting spellbooks, ominous signage, and mischievous fantasy. Its sharp edges and unstable outlines add tension and grit, while the quirky, symbol-like shapes keep it from becoming purely aggressive, leaning into a stylized, ritualistic playfulness.
The design appears intended to prioritize striking, rune-like silhouettes over smooth typographic regularity. By combining faceted geometry with rough, hand-cut edges and pointed terminals, it aims to create an expressive, artifact-like display texture that feels deliberately unconventional.
The sample text shows strong silhouette recognition at display sizes, while tight joins and spurs can visually merge when set too small or too tightly tracked. Diamond and triangular forms appear repeatedly as a motif, reinforcing a runic, emblematic texture across lines.
