This font uses angular, faceted letterforms with sharp wedge terminals and chiseled corners, creating a cut-metal or carved-wood look. Strokes are mostly straight with abrupt direction changes and occasional notches, producing a fractured rhythm rather than smooth curves. The capitals feel tall and assertive with stylized joins, while the lowercase retains the same jagged construction and slightly uneven internal spacing. Numerals follow the same geometry, with hard corners and strong diagonals that keep the set visually consistent.
Best suited to short display settings where the faceted details can be appreciated—titles, wordmarks, posters, and packaging with a dark or fantastical theme. It can also work for game or film graphics, chapter headers, and event branding where a dramatic, gothic voice is desired.
The overall tone is dramatic and slightly ominous, with a medieval-fantasy and heavy-metal sensibility. Its sharp, weapon-like detailing reads loud and performative, suggesting danger, ritual, or spectacle rather than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to evoke carved blackletter traditions through a modern, angular reinterpretation, prioritizing attitude and texture over conventional readability. Its consistent wedge-and-notch vocabulary suggests it was drawn to create a striking, theatrical silhouette in headline use.
Counters tend to be small and angular, and many letters rely on distinctive cut-ins and wedges that become more prominent at larger sizes. The texture is spiky and high-energy, so lines of text form a dark, patterned band with frequent diagonal accents.
