A decorative, sharply notched letterform with tapered, chisel-like terminals and frequent internal cut-outs that read as carved voids. Curves are broken into faceted arcs, and many strokes include offset slivers or split shapes that create a subtle shadowed, hollowed impression within the black silhouette. Uppercase forms feel angular and emblematic, while lowercase remains stylized but slightly rounder, keeping a consistent, hand-cut rhythm across the set. Numerals echo the same carved apertures and pointed terminals, with dramatic interior openings in figures like 0, 8, and 9.
This font performs best in display contexts such as posters, title treatments, book or game covers, and branding where a strong fantasy or gothic cue is desirable. It’s well-suited to logos, chapter headings, and packaging accents that benefit from a carved, shadowed texture and high personality.
The overall tone is darkly playful and arcane, suggesting spellbook lettering, occult ephemera, or fantasy world-building. The sharp cuts and shadow-like interior separations add tension and drama, giving text a ritualistic, theatrical energy rather than a neutral voice.
The design appears intended to evoke carved or cut lettering with a built-in shadow/hollow effect, prioritizing atmosphere and visual texture over neutrality. Its consistent notching and faceted curves suggest a deliberate system for producing a dramatic, ornamental voice across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Texture is a defining feature: the repeated notches, wedge terminals, and internal voids produce a lively, irregular sparkle at display sizes. In longer lines, the distinctive counters and split strokes create a patterned color that can feel busy, making it better suited to short phrases than continuous reading.
