A sharply angled, faceted display face with a consistent rightward slant and strong calligraphic construction. Strokes break into wedge-like terminals and beveled joins, creating a chiseled, gemstone feel rather than smooth curves. Letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in footprint with irregular internal spacing and a lively rhythm, and many glyphs show pointed spurs and notched counters that emphasize the angular structure. Capitals read tall and imposing, while lowercase maintains a compact, broken-stroke texture with pronounced diagonals and clipped shoulders.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, album/track art, logotypes, merchandise, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for short passages when set large with added tracking, but the angular texture and tight counters make it less comfortable for extended reading.
The overall tone is intense and ceremonial, evoking gothic signage, medieval manuscripts, and hard-edged metal or tattoo aesthetics. Its sharpness and slant give it speed and bite, projecting authority and drama more than warmth or neutrality.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter tradition into a more crystalline, cut-paper/engraved look, combining a calligraphic skeleton with aggressively beveled terminals. The pronounced slant and sharp segmentation prioritize energy and visual attitude over neutrality.
At text sizes the dense black texture and spiky joins can visually fuse, especially in sequences with repeated verticals, so it benefits from generous tracking and careful line spacing. Numerals and capitals carry the same faceted logic, keeping the set cohesive for titling and emblem-like compositions.
