A sharply angular display face built from heavy, faceted strokes and clipped corners, with frequent triangular notches and wedge-like terminals. Forms lean on rectilinear geometry—blocky bowls, cut-in counters, and pointed joins—creating a carved, emblematic silhouette rather than a smooth typographic rhythm. Counters are often small and tightly enclosed, and the overall spacing feels compact in text, reinforcing a dense, high-impact texture. Uppercase and lowercase share the same hard-edged construction, with simplified, logo-like letterforms that read as intentionally stylized rather than strictly conventional.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headers, title cards, game/UI titling, and branding marks where the angular silhouette can dominate. It also works well for themed packaging or event graphics that want a medieval/fantasy or hard-edged atmosphere. For readability, it’s most effective at medium-to-large sizes with generous line spacing.
The tone is dramatic and archaic, evoking gothic signwork, fantasy titles, and metal-adjacent graphic culture. Its sharp facets and aggressive terminals give it a confrontational, weaponized feel, while the disciplined geometry keeps it cohesive and emblematic. Overall, it communicates intensity, ritual, and theatricality more than friendliness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable, ornamental voice through a carved, blackletter-adjacent geometry. By emphasizing faceted construction, tight counters, and pointed terminals, it prioritizes attitude and theme over neutral text performance, targeting expressive display typography.
The font’s visual identity relies on consistent corner clipping and triangular cut-ins that create a rhythmic pattern of points across words. Numerals and capitals carry the same carved, shield-like massing, making the set feel unified for headline systems and icon-like treatments. In longer lines, the dense black shape and small interior openings can reduce legibility, especially at smaller sizes.
