A sharp, angular display face with chiseled, wedge-like terminals and subtly uneven contours that give each stroke a hand-cut feel. Stems and bowls stay mostly straight-sided, with occasional slight concavity/convexity and flared ends that create a jagged silhouette. Counters tend toward rectangular or faceted shapes, and curves are generally broken into corners rather than smooth arcs. Spacing and letter widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an irregular rhythm while maintaining consistent stroke energy across the set.
Best suited for short display settings such as posters, game titles, album art, book covers, and themed branding where texture and character matter more than neutral readability. It works well for headings, logos, and packaging that want an arcane or spooky flavor, and is less appropriate for long-form text or small UI sizes due to its irregular widths and sharp detailing.
The overall tone feels occult and fantasy-leaning—somewhere between medieval sign lettering and a playful horror aesthetic. Its spiky terminals and faceted construction read as dramatic and slightly mischievous rather than formal, suggesting magic, monsters, or dungeon-map ephemera.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, one-off voice through aggressive terminals, faceted geometry, and intentionally inconsistent widths. Rather than refining toward typographic neutrality, it leans into a handcrafted, carved-sign look to create strong thematic atmosphere in headlines.
The uppercase and lowercase share a closely related construction, with many letters appearing stylized toward the same angular vocabulary rather than conventional text-model forms. Numerals follow the same faceted, sign-like logic, with squared counters and pointed joins that keep the set cohesive in display use.
