An angular, faceted sans with straight strokes and abrupt, chiseled corners that often replace expected curves. Forms are built from planar segments with slightly uneven stroke ends, creating a hand-cut, marker-or-carved impression. Proportions are simple and compact, with triangular counters and diamond-like bowls appearing in several letters, and a generally loose, organic consistency rather than strict geometric precision. Spacing reads moderately open in the sample text, supporting clear word shapes despite the rugged outlines.
Best used at display sizes where the faceted corners and hand-hewn stroke endings can be appreciated. It works well for headlines, posters, packaging, and title treatments—especially in fantasy, adventure, or folklore-themed projects—while longer paragraphs may feel visually busy due to the strong angular rhythm.
The overall tone feels runic and mythic, with a raw, handmade energy that suggests carved signs or ancient inscriptions. Its sharp facets and uneven rhythm add a playful, slightly ominous character well suited to fantasy-leaning or adventurous themes.
The design appears intended to translate a carved or hand-rendered sign aesthetic into a legible display alphabet, emphasizing faceted construction and rugged texture over smooth curves and typographic neutrality.
Distinctive diamond and wedge motifs recur across the set, giving the alphabet a cohesive “cut-stone” texture. The numerals follow the same faceted construction, keeping the texture consistent across mixed alphanumeric settings.
