A stylized sans with sharply tapered strokes and abrupt, chiseled terminals that create a carved, blade-like silhouette. Curves are drawn with strong modulation and pointed joins, while verticals stay slender and straight, producing a tense, wiry rhythm. Letterforms show intentional irregularity in stroke placement and contour—more expressive than geometric—yet remain consistently upright and readable at display sizes. Counters are generally open, and many glyphs feature small notches or hooked cuts that add texture without forming true serifs.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, title treatments, book or album covers, and branding where an atmospheric, decorative voice is desired. It can work for short UI headings or game/film graphics when used at larger sizes with generous spacing, but is less appropriate for long-form reading.
The overall tone feels darkly theatrical and slightly eerie, with a decorative edge that suggests magic, folklore, or gothic storytelling. Its sharp tapering and spiky accents give it an intense, dramatic presence, while the uneven, hand-cut feel adds a quirky, handmade charm.
The design appears intended to deliver a dramatic, fantasy-leaning voice through a pared-back sans structure enhanced with calligraphic tapering and carved detailing. It prioritizes mood and character over neutrality, aiming to feel hand-shaped and ceremonial while staying legible for headlines.
Distinctive, emblem-like capitals pair with more fluid lowercase, creating noticeable contrast between headline and text flavor. Numerals keep the same tapered, carved character, with several figures showing pronounced diagonals and narrow inner spaces that can close up at small sizes.
