A sharply angular display face built from straight, monoline strokes and squared counters. Forms are largely rectilinear, with frequent notch cuts and pointed, horn-like terminals that read as aggressive serifs. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent geometric skeleton, producing a rhythmic, constructed look; several letters lean into squared bowls and segmented joins, giving a slightly stencil-like, carved impression. Numerals follow the same boxy logic, maintaining hard corners and clipped edges for a unified texture in mixed settings.
Best suited to short-form display work such as posters, title cards, packaging accents, or branding where an occult or fantasy atmosphere is desired. It can work for headings, logos, and in-world UI/props in games, but is less comfortable for long passages due to its busy shapes and dark typographic color.
The overall tone feels arcane and theatrical, evoking spellbook titles, ritual signage, and fantasy-world ephemera. Its jagged terminals and chiselled geometry add a dark, dramatic energy that reads as intentionally strange rather than neutral or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a constructed, rune-adjacent gothic flavor using a modular, squared framework and dramatic pointed terminals. It prioritizes character and mood over neutrality, aiming for instant thematic association in headlines and stylized text.
In text, the strong silhouette and tight interior spaces create a dense, high-contrast texture (despite the uniform stroke), which can dominate a layout quickly. The distinctive terminals are most effective at larger sizes where their spurs and notches stay crisp and readable.
