A heavy, angular display face built from straight strokes and crisp, planar facets rather than curves. Counters are compact and often polygonal, with frequent chamfered corners and occasional triangular notches that create a cut-steel rhythm. Strokes are consistently thick, producing dense silhouettes; joins are abrupt and geometric, and terminals tend to end in flat or beveled edges. The lowercase echoes the uppercase structure, keeping forms blocky and compact with simplified bowls and short extenders, while numerals follow the same faceted construction for a cohesive texture in mixed setting.
Best suited to large-scale display work where the faceted detailing can be appreciated: headlines, posters, packaging marks, game titles, and music artwork. It can also work for short, impactful subheads or branding wordmarks when a hard-edged, constructed voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and confrontational, with a forged, armor-like feel that reads as medieval-adjacent without fully committing to traditional blackletter calligraphy. Its sharp geometry and tight counters give it a gritty, game-ready energy that can feel both militaristic and fantastical.
The design appears intended to translate gothic/medieval and heavy-metal signifiers into a simplified, geometric system—prioritizing bold presence, sharp silhouettes, and a cohesive faceted texture over conventional text readability.
In text, the dense color and similar interior shapes can make letters with enclosed counters feel close in presence, especially at smaller sizes. The design’s strong diagonals and beveled corners create a distinctive, stamped pattern that becomes more striking as size increases.
