This typeface is built from straight strokes and crisp corner joins, replacing curves with faceted, polygonal turns. Strokes stay largely consistent in thickness, with pointed terminals and frequent diagonal cuts that create a chiseled silhouette. Counters are narrow and often hexagonal or notched, and many letters show sharp internal angles (notably in forms like S, G, and R). The overall rhythm is compact and vertical, with tight apertures and a slightly irregular, hand-hewn geometry that still reads as a coordinated system across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short display settings where its faceted construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logos, game or film titles, and thematic branding. It can work for punchy subheads or pull quotes, but the tight apertures and spiky joins make it less comfortable for extended body text.
The tone feels medieval-meets-mechanical: austere, sharp, and slightly ominous, with a runic or blackletter-adjacent attitude translated into clean, planar geometry. Its spiky facets and narrow openings give it an intense, “forged” character that can read as fantasy, metal, or cyber-goth depending on context.
The design appears intended to evoke carved or forged lettering through an all-straight, planar construction—delivering a dramatic, stylized voice without resorting to traditional serifs or calligraphic contrast. The consistent stroke weight and systematic faceting suggest a deliberate effort to balance ornamented atmosphere with reproducible, geometric letterforms.
Lowercase echoes the uppercase structure with simplified, angular bowls and hook-like joins, producing a distinctive texture in mixed-case setting. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with angular bends and pointed corners that keep them stylistically consistent in display sizes.
