This typeface is built from hard, planar strokes with clipped corners and beveled joins, replacing curves with straight segments and sharp diagonals. Strokes are heavy and consistent, with compact counters and frequent triangular notches that create a cut, chiseled silhouette. Proportions lean slightly condensed in many capitals while remaining uneven enough across letters to feel intentionally varied, and spacing reads tight and assertive in the sample text. The lowercase follows the same faceted construction, with simplified bowls and pointed terminals that keep the texture crisp and blocky at display sizes.
It works best in short, high-impact settings such as titles, posters, logos, and event or album graphics where the angular construction can be appreciated. The dense texture and tight interior spaces make it more suitable for large sizes and limited copy than for long-form reading.
The overall tone is forceful and stylized, evoking carved lettering, forged metal, and fantasy or heavy-music aesthetics. Its sharp facets and aggressive terminals produce a tense, energetic rhythm that reads as combative and dramatic rather than neutral or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a striking, hard-edged display voice using faceted geometry and carved-looking terminals, prioritizing visual attitude and thematic styling over quiet legibility.
Many glyphs emphasize symmetry and straight-edge geometry, and several shapes incorporate distinctive inner cut-ins and angled shoulder breaks that heighten the “shard-like” texture. Numerals match the same octagonal, clipped construction, supporting a cohesive headline system.
