A heavy, angular display face built from broad strokes with sharply cut terminals and frequent wedge-like notches. Curves are reduced to faceted arcs and pointed joins, giving many letters a carved, almost cut-paper silhouette. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with a lively baseline rhythm and uneven widths that create a dynamic texture in words. Counters tend to be small and distinctive—often diamond or teardrop-shaped—while punctuation and numerals follow the same sharp, tapered construction.
Best suited for display applications where personality matters: posters, headlines, event graphics, game or fantasy-themed materials, book covers, and brand marks. It can also work for short bursts of text—taglines, pull quotes, or labels—where the jagged rhythm and distinctive counters remain legible and intentional.
The overall tone is playful and theatrical, with a slightly ominous, fantasy-leaning edge created by the pointed shapes and chiseled cuts. It feels like hand-made lettering intended to entertain and intrigue rather than disappear into body text.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, character-driven sans with a carved, angular aesthetic—prioritizing expressive silhouettes, distinctive counters, and energetic word shapes for attention-grabbing display typography.
In longer lines, the strong internal shapes (notably the diamond-like counters in letters such as O and several numerals) become a repeating motif that adds ornament through negative space. The aggressive terminals and irregular widths increase visual energy, which can make dense paragraphs feel busy at smaller sizes but very characterful at display scales.
