This typeface uses sharply angular, faceted strokes with frequent beveled terminals that read like chisel cuts rather than smooth curves. Counters and bowls tend to be polygonal, with many letters built from straight segments and abrupt joins, creating a crisp, cut-paper silhouette. Capitals are tall and assertive, while the lowercase keeps a similar blackletter-adjacent structure but with simplified construction and occasional quirky, asymmetric details. Numerals follow the same hard-edged geometry, maintaining consistent stroke behavior and pointed corners across the set.
Best suited to display settings where its angular texture can be appreciated—posters, headings, title cards, and logo wordmarks. It also fits fantasy or horror-themed branding and packaging where a chiseled, old-world voice is desirable, but it may feel busy for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is gothic and medieval with a slightly mischievous edge, evoking old-world signage, fantasy settings, and occult or horror-flavored titles. Its sharp facets and dagger-like terminals add tension and drama, while the consistent, stylized geometry keeps it decorative rather than strictly historical.
The design appears intended to deliver a blackletter-inspired, chiseled look with modern consistency—prioritizing striking silhouettes, sharp terminals, and a dramatic texture over traditional calligraphic softness. Its simplified, geometric construction suggests an aim for bold character and immediate thematic signaling in titles and branding.
Spacing appears relatively open for a display face, which helps the many pointed terminals avoid clumping in short headlines. The rhythm is driven by repeated angled cuts and notches, giving text a serrated texture that becomes more pronounced in longer lines.
