This typeface uses narrow, vertical proportions with faceted, chisel-like terminals and frequent angled cuts on joins and stroke ends. Strokes show pronounced contrast, with thick stems paired with noticeably thinner connecting strokes, creating a crisp, sculpted rhythm. Curves are reduced into polygonal segments, and many characters incorporate small wedges, notches, or beveled corners that keep counters tight and forms compact. The overall construction stays upright and mostly monolinear in direction, but with subtly irregular, hand-cut geometry that gives letters a slightly shifting width and texture across a line.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, titles, logos, and packaging where its angular texture can be a focal point. It can also work for game interfaces, fantasy or horror theming, and editorial headers where a gothic or carved aesthetic is desired. For extended reading, it is likely most effective in short bursts, larger sizes, and with generous tracking.
The tone is dark and historical, evoking gothic lettering and carved signage rather than neutral contemporary sans. Its sharp corners and high-contrast cuts add a dramatic, assertive voice that can feel ominous or ceremonial. The overall impression is decorative and stylized, with a “forged” or “engraved” energy.
The design intent appears to be a contemporary, sans-based take on gothic and engraved letterforms—maintaining clean, upright construction while adding beveled cuts and high-contrast modulation to create a stylized, dramatic voice. It seems built to deliver strong personality and memorable silhouettes in headline-driven typography.
Uppercase forms read as strong and architectural, while lowercase maintains the same angular logic with simplified bowls and compact counters. Numerals follow the same faceted treatment, leaning toward display clarity rather than numeric neutrality. Spacing appears designed to create an even, blocky texture in headlines, with distinctive silhouettes that prioritize character over minimalism.
