A sharply angular display face built from straight strokes and faceted, chamfer-like corners. Terminals are consistently notched and cut at steep angles, giving the letters a chiseled, segmented feel rather than smooth curves. Counters tend toward narrow, polygonal shapes, and joins often form abrupt elbows that create a rhythmic, spiky silhouette across words. The lowercase keeps the same rigid construction as the caps, with single-storey forms and occasional broken-looking joins that emphasize the font’s carved geometry. Numerals follow the same beveled logic, with strong diagonals and clipped corners for a cohesive set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where its angular texture can be appreciated: headlines, posters, branding marks, and title treatments. It’s a natural fit for fantasy or dark-themed projects (games, events, music packaging) and works well when set with generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels ominous and theatrical, blending medieval/gothic cues with a hard, engineered edge. Its sharp cuts and crystalline forms suggest sorcery, metal, or weapon-like iconography, projecting an aggressive, ritualistic mood rather than friendliness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-of-a-kind, carved blackletter-like voice with a modern, faceted twist. By replacing traditional curves with hard chamfers and deliberate notches, it prioritizes dramatic texture and atmosphere over neutral readability.
In text, the dense pattern of angled terminals and tight interior shapes produces strong texture and a pronounced zig-zag rhythm. Some letterforms rely on distinctive cuts and internal breaks for identity, which adds character but can increase letter-to-letter confusion at smaller sizes or in long passages.
