An angular, facet-cut sans with wedge-like terminals and sharp corners throughout. Strokes stay mostly uniform in thickness but frequently taper into pointed ends, creating a carved, hand-cut impression rather than a smooth geometric build. Many forms are constructed from straight segments with slight irregularities in joins and angles, producing a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters are compact and often polygonal, and diagonals and notches are used to articulate curves in letters like C, G, S, and O. The lowercase follows the same angular logic, with tall, narrow stems and simplified bowls that keep the texture dense and graphic.
Works best for display typography where its jagged outlines and carved construction can read clearly—such as posters, title treatments, game and entertainment branding, album artwork, or themed packaging. It can also support short callouts, headers, and logos where a gritty, fantasy-tinged voice is desired.
The overall tone is intense and slightly ominous, with a fantasy-leaning, runic flavor. Its jagged silhouette reads as rugged and crafted, suggesting weapons, stone, or metal rather than contemporary signage. The texture feels energetic and rebellious, suited to dramatic or mysterious themes.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, carved aesthetic using straight segments, tapered terminals, and polygonal counters to evoke hand-made lettering. It prioritizes personality and dramatic texture over neutral legibility, aiming to stand out in expressive display settings.
The font’s sharp terminals and frequent internal notches create strong silhouettes at display sizes, while the busy angular detailing can reduce clarity in long passages or at small sizes. Numerals follow the same cut-stone geometry, with distinctive, stylized shapes (notably 2, 3, and 8) that emphasize character over neutrality.
