This typeface is built from sharp, planar strokes that replace round curves with crisp facets and pointed joins. Stems are tall and condensed, with a tight overall footprint and a slightly irregular rhythm from letter to letter. Terminals often taper to wedge-like points, and counters tend to be narrow and geometric, producing diamond- and teardrop-shaped interiors in rounded forms. The lowercase follows the same angular logic, with compact bowls and strong vertical emphasis, while figures are similarly narrow and chiseled for a cohesive texture in mixed text.
It performs best in display contexts such as headlines, titles, posters, and packaging where its angular detailing can be appreciated. It can also support branding for entertainment, themed events, or products that benefit from a historical or arcane atmosphere, while extended small-size body text may feel dense due to the condensed proportions and intricate facets.
The overall tone feels gothic and ceremonial, with a chiseled, hand-forged character that reads as historical and dramatic. Its sharp angles and narrow proportions create a tense, enigmatic mood suited to dark fantasy, mystery, and theatrical settings.
The design appears intended to evoke a carved or cut-letter aesthetic by translating traditional gothic cues into a cleaner, faceted construction. Its goal seems to be high-impact atmosphere with a distinctive silhouette, prioritizing character and texture over neutrality.
In longer passages the faceted construction creates a lively, slightly uneven color, where pointed terminals and tight counters add visual sparkle but also increase busyness at small sizes. The numerals and capitals present strong vertical presence, making headings and short lines feel imposing and deliberate.
