A sharp, faceted sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly angular construction that replaces curves with planar corners and wedge-like joins. Strokes tend to taper into pointed terminals, and many counters are diamond or triangular, giving the alphabet a chiseled, sign-cut feel. Proportions are slightly uneven and glyph widths vary noticeably, creating a lively rhythm; diagonals dominate and verticals often lean into kinked, segmented lines rather than continuous stems. The lowercase is stylized and simplified, with minimal bowls and frequent angular breaks, while numerals follow the same edgy, polygonal logic.
Best suited to display roles where its faceted, rune-like personality can be a feature: fantasy or mythic titling, game branding and UI accents, event posters, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can work for short bursts of text such as headings, labels, or pull quotes when set with generous size and comfortable tracking.
The overall tone evokes runes, fantasy inscriptions, and hand-carved markings—direct, cryptic, and a bit mischievous. Its spiky geometry reads as energetic and ritualistic rather than polite or corporate, making it feel more like lettering for lore, maps, or titles than everyday text.
The design appears intended to translate the feel of carved or cut lettering into a clean digital face—maintaining consistent stroke weight while emphasizing angular facets, sharp terminals, and irregular rhythms to suggest hand-made inscription rather than neutral typography.
In text settings the strong diagonals and pointed joints create a distinctive texture with high visual movement. Several forms (notably those built from similar angled strokes) can appear close in silhouette at smaller sizes, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect clarity.
