A sharply drawn, upright display face built from confident verticals and taut, angled joins. Strokes stay broadly even, with subtle swelling and taper that reads as lightly chiseled rather than brushy. Many terminals end in small triangular cuts or flared wedges, and counters lean toward round-oval forms framed by straight stems. Proportions are slightly irregular from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm; diagonals (A, V, W, X) feel narrow and steep, while rounded letters (O, Q, G) are full and heavy. The lowercase is compact with distinctive, pointed details (notably on g, j, s, t), and numerals echo the same faceted, cut-in look.
Best suited to display settings where its angular terminals and incised details can be appreciated—headlines, posters, cultural/event materials, and book or magazine covers. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that want a crisp, carved-in personality. For long-form small text, its sharp detailing and lively width changes may feel busy compared with more neutral faces.
The tone balances modern clarity with an incised, almost inscription-like edge. Its crisp angles and wedge terminals give it a ceremonial, editorial feel, while the intentional quirks in shaping add personality and a slightly eccentric, handcrafted character. Overall it reads bold in attitude without relying on heavy weight—more defined by geometry and sharp finishing than by mass.
The design appears intended to merge a clean, sans-like skeleton with chiseled, wedge-ended terminals, creating an inscription-inspired display voice. Its slightly irregular rhythm suggests a deliberate move away from strict neutrality toward a distinctive, characterful texture in words and lines.
Spacing and silhouette variation are part of the design’s character: some glyphs appear more condensed or more open, producing a dynamic texture in running text. The pointed terminals and tight interior corners can become visually prominent at smaller sizes, while at larger sizes they contribute a distinctive, cut-stone crispness.
