This typeface is built from sharp, faceted strokes with pointed terminals and occasional wedge-like flares, producing a chiseled silhouette rather than smooth curves. Stems are predominantly straight and vertical, while bowls and diagonals break into angled segments, giving many letters a runic, cut-from-metal feel. Corners are crisp and the overall construction is compact, with tight interior spaces and a slightly irregular rhythm that keeps the texture lively. Uppercase forms read as tall and assertive, while the lowercase maintains similar angular logic, with distinctive pointed i/j dots and narrow, segmented counters in letters like a, e, and g.
Best suited for display settings where mood and personality are primary—titles, chapter heads, posters, packaging, and logo-like wordmarks for fantasy or horror themes. It can also work for short UI labels in games when a stylized, in-world voice is desired, but extended reading passages will benefit from generous size and spacing.
The tone is dark and ceremonial, evoking gothic signage, fantasy world-building, and occult or alchemical ephemera. Its sharpness and uneven bite convey tension and intensity, leaning more toward dramatic atmosphere than neutral communication.
The design appears intended to modernize blackletter-inspired energy into a simplified, angular sans construction—prioritizing sharp silhouettes, dramatic texture, and a carved, emblematic presence for genre-forward display typography.
In the sample text, the spiky terminals and angular joins create a strong horizontal texture that can feel busy in long paragraphs, especially where tight counters stack up. Numerals follow the same carved aesthetic, with angular corners and strong top/bottom accents that make them feel emblematic rather than purely utilitarian.
