A heavy, angular display face built from faceted strokes and hard corners, with frequent wedge-like notches and clipped terminals. Curves are largely suppressed in favor of straight segments, producing a chiseled, almost cut-paper silhouette across both cases and numerals. Counters are compact and geometric, and the rhythm alternates between broad vertical masses and sudden diagonal bites, giving many glyphs a serrated, weapon-like profile. The overall construction feels consistent, with deliberate asymmetries and varying internal cuts that keep the texture lively in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, album/track art, event flyers, title cards, and logo-style wordmarks where the angular cuts can be appreciated. It can also work for game titles and UI headers in fantasy or dark-themed projects, but is less comfortable for small sizes or long-form reading due to its dense texture and sharp detailing.
The font conveys a dark, aggressive tone with a playful, theatrical edge—evoking gothic signage, fantasy UI, and loud music branding. Its sharpness and dense color create a sense of urgency and impact, while the irregular cut-ins add a quirky, one-off character rather than a formal historical revival.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through chiseled geometry and distinctive cut-in details, prioritizing personality and atmosphere over neutrality. It aims to read as a stylized, emblematic voice—somewhere between gothic signage and modern fantasy branding—while remaining cohesive across letters and figures.
In longer lines the dense black shapes create strong horizontal bands, and the distinctive notches become the primary identifying feature. The uppercase reads as more architectural and emblematic, while the lowercase keeps the same faceted logic, which helps maintain a consistent voice between display settings and shorter passages.
