This typeface uses a rigid, angular construction with sharp, flared serif terminals and frequent triangular notches that create an ink-trap-like bite at corners and joins. Strokes are consistently heavy with crisp interior cut-ins, producing strong stencil-like negative spaces in letters such as A, B, D, O, and P. Uppercase forms are compact and geometric, while lowercase retains the same hard-edged logic with simplified bowls and squared counters. Numerals are similarly blocky and stylized, emphasizing straight segments and pointed terminals for a unified, emblematic rhythm across the set.
Best suited for logos, headings, and short bursts of text where the angular detailing can read clearly. It can work well for game interfaces, album or event posters, and themed packaging where a carved, gothic atmosphere is desirable. For long paragraphs or small sizes, it will be more effective as an accent face paired with a simpler companion.
The overall tone is gothic and arcane, blending medieval signage energy with a game-title sharpness. Its pointed serifs and carved-in details evoke metal, stone, and ritual ornament rather than everyday print. The resulting voice feels dramatic and a bit ominous, well suited to fantasy or horror-leaning themes.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a distinctive, ornamental serif voice with a carved, blackletter-adjacent flavor while maintaining a relatively structured, modular build. The consistent notching and sharp terminals suggest an intention to create strong silhouette recognition and a theatrical, genre-specific mood for display typography.
The design relies on distinctive corner cuts and terminal shapes to carry personality, which makes it visually striking at display sizes but busier in extended reading. The sample text shows a consistent pattern of notched corners and flared ends that keeps lines looking tightly knit and graphic.
