A heavy, angular display face with faceted, chisel-like strokes and a hand-drawn, brush-cut feel. Letterforms are built from sharp wedges and oblique terminals, with subtly uneven contours and spacing that create an energetic, variable rhythm. Counters tend to be compact and irregular, and diagonals and notches dominate the silhouette, giving the alphabet a jagged, carved appearance. Numerals and capitals carry the same aggressive geometry, reading best at larger sizes where the distinctive edges stay crisp.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, logos, packaging callouts, and title treatments. It can work well for music and entertainment graphics, fantasy or historical-themed materials, and any design needing a rough, carved display voice. Use generous tracking and larger sizes for improved readability.
The tone is bold and confrontational, evoking a medieval or gothic sensibility with a gritty, handmade edge. Its sharp cuts and irregular rhythm add a sense of motion and drama, making text feel loud, rebellious, and slightly menacing rather than refined.
The design appears intended to merge blackletter-like aggression with an informal, hand-rendered construction, prioritizing distinctive silhouettes and texture over smooth regularity. Its faceted strokes and jagged terminals suggest a deliberate “carved/inked” effect meant to stand out in display typography.
The sample text shows strong word shape and high visual impact, but the dense interiors and busy terminals can reduce clarity in long passages. The overall texture is intentionally uneven, with inconsistent stroke endings that reinforce the hand-rendered character.
