A sharply angular display face with faceted, chiseled strokes and abrupt terminals. Letterforms are built from straight segments with small triangular notches and wedge-like cuts that create an etched, staccato rhythm. Counters are tight and geometric, and curves are largely avoided in favor of broken, planar joins. Overall spacing and widths feel intentionally uneven for a hand-forged, irregular texture while remaining consistently vertical and structured.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, and entertainment or music packaging where texture is an asset. It can work well for themed titles (gothic, medieval, horror, fantasy) and punchy callouts, but is likely too visually busy for extended reading or small UI text.
The font projects a dark, confrontational energy with a medieval/industrial edge. Its jagged cuts and compressed silhouette evoke poster-era blackletter attitudes, giving text a ritualistic, metal-album intensity. The overall tone is theatrical and attention-seeking rather than polite or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a carved, blackletter-adjacent attitude with modern, geometric cuts—prioritizing character and visual bite over neutrality. Its controlled vertical structure keeps it legible as a display face while the irregular facets add novelty and personality.
Distinctive wedge terminals and stepped joins show up across both capitals and lowercase, helping keep the set cohesive even as widths vary. Numerals follow the same angular logic, reading like carved signage rather than text figures. The dense color and sharp detailing suggest it will visually “buzz” at small sizes or in long passages.
