A sharply angular, faceted sans with monoline strokes and an almost entirely straight-line construction. Forms rely on triangles, wedges, and diamond-like counters in place of curves, creating a chiseled, planar rhythm. Terminals are pointed or abruptly cut, with frequent acute joins and slightly irregular, hand-drawn-like geometry that keeps the texture lively. Proportions feel condensed with compact lowercase and relatively tall ascenders/descenders, and the overall spacing reads tight but consistent across words.
Best suited to display contexts where atmosphere is the priority: logos, headline typography, posters, game titles/UI elements, and entertainment branding. It works well for short phrases, wordmarks, and thematic packaging where the angular texture can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The tone is cryptic and rune-like, evoking carved inscriptions, fantasy alphabets, and coded signage. Its crisp facets also lean toward a sci‑fi or cyber aesthetic, giving text a deliberate, secretive presence rather than a casual, friendly one.
The design appears intended to translate a carved, runic sensibility into a usable Latin alphabet by replacing curves with planar facets and maintaining a consistent stroke presence. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and thematic texture, aiming for a stylized display voice rather than neutral body text performance.
Many letters substitute conventional bowls with open angles or internal diamonds, which increases stylistic character but can reduce immediate readability at small sizes. The numerals mirror the same faceted logic, with segmented, polygonal silhouettes that match the uppercase and lowercase voice.
