A sharp, angular display face with chiseled contours and pronounced flared terminals that read like small wedge serifs. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with corners cut into facets and frequent inward notches that create pointed joins and diamond-like interior spaces. Uppercase forms are squarish and monumental, while lowercase keeps a sturdy, upright skeleton with compact counters and short apertures. The rhythm is tight and graphic, with distinctive, stylized crossbars and strong horizontals that give the texture a banded, architectural feel.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, titles, packaging, and identity marks where a dramatic, medieval or fantasy-leaning tone is desired. It works particularly well for entertainment contexts (games, film, music) and event or venue branding that benefits from a carved, ornamental texture.
The overall tone is gothic and theatrical, evoking carved stone, metalwork, or fantasy title lettering. Its spiked terminals and faceted shapes add menace and intensity, making the voice feel ceremonial, archaic, and high-impact rather than casual or friendly.
The font appears intended to deliver a bold, archaic display voice by combining a sturdy upright structure with flared, wedge-like endings and faceted cuts. The goal is strong silhouette recognition and an ornamental surface texture that feels crafted rather than neutral.
The design relies on hard edges and deliberate cut-ins, so letterforms can feel busy at smaller sizes; it reads best when the faceting has room to resolve. Numerals and capitals share the same squared, flared vocabulary, supporting cohesive headline and logo settings.
