A sharply angular display face built from straight strokes and triangular facets, with virtually no curves. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with tight counters and frequent wedge-shaped terminals that create a cut-in, carved look. Strokes stay largely consistent in thickness, while interior joins and diagonals form crisp points and diamond-like apertures (notably in rounded letters and numerals). The baseline feel is steady, but many glyphs use oblique cuts and asymmetrical joins, giving the texture a jagged, rhythmic pattern in text.
Best suited for headlines, logos, game UI titling, and thematic packaging where a distinctive, runic texture is an advantage. It works well at larger sizes or in high-contrast applications where the faceted cuts and tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone feels runic and ceremonial—suggesting inscriptions, talismans, or coded markings—while still reading as a Latin alphabet. Its faceted geometry and pointed joins convey intensity and a slightly ominous, arcane energy that fits fantasy and dark-adventure aesthetics.
The design appears intended to translate a carved, rune-inspired aesthetic into a readable Latin set by substituting curves with planar facets and wedge terminals. The emphasis is on atmosphere and texture—creating an emblematic, inscription-like voice rather than neutral body text readability.
In lines of text the repeated triangular cuts create a strong pattern, especially around diagonals (V/W/X/Y) and in letters with diamond counters. The very small x-height makes lowercase look compact and accent-like next to the tall capitals, which pushes the font toward titling and short bursts of copy rather than continuous reading.
