A heavy display face built from broad, sculpted strokes with sharp wedge-like terminals and frequent triangular notches that break up the contours. Many glyphs include internal cut-outs and sliced counters, creating a punched, hollowed rhythm across curves and joins. The overall silhouette leans geometric and slightly condensed in places, with a mix of rounded bowls and abrupt, chiseled angles. An offset-like separation and layered negative space produces a shadowed, dimensional read, especially noticeable in rounded letters and numerals.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, headlines, mastheads, and logo-style wordmarks where the carved details can be appreciated. It can also work well for album/film titles, event branding, and packaging that benefits from a dramatic, slightly mysterious display aesthetic.
The letterforms project a theatrical, enigmatic tone—part gothic signage, part pulp-era title treatment. The recurring cuts and shadowy layering add tension and movement, giving the text a spellbook or cabaret-poster mood rather than a quiet, utilitarian voice.
The font appears designed to create a carved, stencil-like impression with built-in depth, using deliberate cut-outs and shadowed separations to add visual drama. Its consistent notching and wedge terminals suggest an intention to feel ceremonial and decorative while remaining legible in display sizes.
The design’s cut-in shapes become a key identification feature at both uppercase and lowercase, and they create strong patterning in words. Because the interior breaks are prominent, clarity depends on size and contrast; the face reads best when given room to breathe and when the notches are not overwhelmed by crowding.
