This typeface is built from monoline strokes and crisp, faceted geometry, replacing curves with angled joins and triangular terminals. Forms are predominantly straight and diagonal, with a consistent stroke weight and slightly irregular, hand-drawn outlines that keep the texture lively. Counters tend to be open and simplified, and several letters lean on rune-like constructions (notably the angular bowls and wedge-shaped apertures). Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, contributing to an uneven, organic rhythm while maintaining clear, upright alignment.
Best suited to display settings where its distinctive angular texture can be appreciated—fantasy or myth-inspired titles, game interfaces and menus, event posters, and branding that benefits from a coded or ceremonial mood. It is less appropriate for long-form reading, but effective for short headlines, labels, and atmosphere-driven typography.
The overall tone reads as runic and arcane—suggestive of carved markings, fantasy iconography, and coded inscriptions. Its sharp facets and handmade wobble give it an energetic, slightly ominous voice that feels more ritualistic than technical.
The design appears intended to evoke carved or inscribed lettering through faceted, planar strokes and simplified structures. By favoring triangles, wedges, and sharp joins over curves, it aims to deliver a symbolic, rune-adjacent aesthetic that remains legible while feeling intentionally stylized.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same angular construction, with lowercase retaining a simplified, inscribed feel rather than traditional text shapes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same chiseled logic, and the repeated use of diamond/triangle motifs reinforces a cohesive symbolic character.
