A sharply angular display face built from straight, squared-off strokes with pointed, dagger-like terminals. The letterforms are constructed as heavy outlines with a consistent internal inline cut, creating a carved, double-stroked look and strong negative space throughout. Counters are tight and rectilinear, and curves are largely avoided in favor of beveled corners and stepped joins. Spacing and rhythm feel compact and vertical, with short crossbars and tall, slender capitals that emphasize a rigid, architectural silhouette.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, album/merch graphics, game titles, and logo wordmarks where its sharp geometry and inline detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for themed packaging or event branding when a gothic or metal-leaning voice is desired, but it is less appropriate for long-form text due to its dense interiors and decorative construction.
The overall tone is intense and theatrical, with a blackletter-adjacent, heavy-metal poster energy. The crisp angles and blade-like descenders suggest aggression and momentum, while the inline detailing adds a crafted, emblematic feel reminiscent of vintage genre titling and fantasy or arcade-era graphics.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, emblematic display style that merges blackletter-inspired aggression with a geometric, outlined construction. The carved inline detail reads like engraving or neon-tube channeling, reinforcing a crafted, genre-forward identity for titling and branding.
The inline carving is visually prominent at text sizes, producing a high-contrast figure/ground effect despite the uniform stroke treatment. Distinctive pointed bottoms and occasional notched details give the alphabet a cohesive, logo-like personality, making the face read best when set with generous size and controlled line length.
