A razor-thin, monoline display face built from straight strokes and sharp facets, with curves largely replaced by triangular joins and diamond-like counters. The overall construction is tall and condensed, with long ascenders/descenders and a small lowercase body relative to capitals. Terminals tend to end in points or cleanly clipped angles, producing a crisp, etched rhythm. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, adding an irregular, hand-assembled cadence while maintaining consistent stroke weight and a disciplined vertical stance.
Best used for display applications where mood and symbol-like character are the priority: posters, title treatments, logos/wordmarks, packaging accents, and game or film UI for fantasy or sci‑fi themes. It benefits from generous point sizes and breathing room, and works well when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The font reads like carved symbols—mysterious, arcane, and slightly hostile—mixing a runic flavor with a sci‑fi, crystalline edge. Its spiky geometry and narrow silhouettes create an incantatory tone suited to fantasy lore, secret codes, and ominous headings rather than everyday text.
The design appears intended to evoke an inscriptional, rune-adjacent aesthetic through extreme angularity and minimal stroke contrast, translating letterforms into faceted, emblematic shapes. By keeping strokes hairline and forms condensed, it aims for a sharp, coded look that feels carved or etched rather than written.
Distinctive diamond forms appear in several glyphs (notably the O/o and 0), reinforcing a faceted theme. The lowercase includes simplified, sign-like forms with minimal bowls and frequent diagonals, which heightens character but can reduce readability at small sizes. The sample text shows a lively, uneven texture where narrow letters and angular counters create bright vertical streaks and sharp word shapes.
