This typeface is built from straight, faceted strokes that replace curves with angled planes, creating diamond-like counters and sharp terminals throughout. Strokes read as mostly monoline, with consistent thickness and crisp joins that emphasize corners over smooth transitions. The overall rhythm is irregular in a deliberate, hand-cut way, and proportions vary across glyphs, reinforcing a crafted, non-mechanical texture while remaining legible in short runs of text.
Best suited to display settings where its faceted character can read as intentional texture—such as game titles, fantasy or myth-themed branding, posters, and album/merch graphics. It can work for short passages or taglines when you want a carved, angular voice, but will be most effective when given generous spacing and scale so the corners and counters stay clear.
The sharp geometry and rune-like construction give the font a gritty, archaic tone with a stylized, fantasy-leaning edge. Its jagged silhouettes and carved-looking forms feel energetic and slightly confrontational, suggesting something forged, etched, or chiseled rather than written with a pen.
The design appears intended to evoke carved or rune-inspired lettering through a consistent system of planar facets and sharp joins. Its goal is expressiveness and atmosphere—delivering a distinctive, angular voice while maintaining enough structural familiarity for readable Latin text.
Many letters rely on angled bowls and pointed diagonals, producing distinctive diamond forms in characters like O and Q and a consistently “cut” feeling in round-related shapes. The texture becomes more noticeable as text blocks grow, where the uneven angles and varied widths create a lively, fractured color on the line.
