A heavy, geometric sans with sharply carved corners and wedge-like terminals that create a chiseled, almost cut-paper silhouette. Bowls and counters are generally squarish with occasional pinched joins, giving the letters a faceted, constructed feel rather than smooth curves. Stroke endings often taper or flare into small points, and interior shapes (like in B, D, O, P, 8) read as inset cutouts. The overall rhythm is blocky and high-impact, with slightly irregular, character-to-character detailing that keeps the texture lively in text.
Best suited to display applications where impact and personality matter: posters, headlines, title cards, game/film branding, and characterful packaging. It can work for short passages at larger sizes, but its distinctive cuts and dense black shapes are most effective when given room to breathe.
The font projects a medieval-fantasy and theatrical tone, mixing bold authority with a playful, quirky edge. Its sharp notches and pointed terminals suggest swords-and-stone or gothic set dressing, making it feel dramatic and story-driven rather than neutral or corporate.
Likely designed to provide a bold, decorative sans alternative with a carved, gothic-adjacent voice—something that reads quickly at a distance while signaling fantasy, drama, and craft through angular construction and distinctive terminals.
Uppercase forms tend to look more emblematic and architectural, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes and occasional swash-like flicks, increasing the hand-cut impression. Numerals are similarly stylized and chunky, maintaining the same carved counter treatment for strong consistency in display settings.
