A sharply faceted display sans built from straight strokes and planar cuts, with pointed terminals and frequent diamond-like counters. Curves are largely replaced by angled joins, giving letters a carved, beveled silhouette and a distinctly jagged rhythm across words. Strokes stay heavy and even, while widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph; capitals are compact and the lowercase reads with a relatively short x-height. Numerals and round forms (like O/0) resolve into angular, lozenge-shaped outlines that reinforce the geometric, cut-stone construction.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of copy where its angular texture can be appreciated—posters, album or event branding, game titles/UI labels, and themed packaging. It can also work for wordmarks and badges when you want a carved, fantasy-leaning look with a clean sans backbone.
The overall tone feels medieval and arcade-adjacent at once—rugged, spiky, and emphatic, with a fantasy or heavy-metal edge. Its faceted geometry suggests something forged or chiseled, creating a dramatic, slightly mischievous voice that stands out immediately.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter-inspired sharpness into a more geometric, sans-like framework, replacing traditional curves with crisp facets for a bold, emblematic presence. Its varied widths and chiseled counters prioritize character and atmosphere over neutral text setting.
Legibility remains strong at display sizes, but the dense black shapes and sharp interior angles can visually fill in when set small or tightly tracked. The most distinctive signature is the consistent use of diagonal notches and diamond counters, which gives text a lively, toothy texture.
