A condensed display face built from slender, straight strokes with frequent cut-ins and negative notches that create a carved, hollowed rhythm. Many terminals end in sharp, wedge-like points, and several glyphs include offset-like internal breaks that read as a built-in shadow or doubled edge rather than continuous outlines. Curves are simplified into tight arcs, while verticals dominate, giving the alphabet a tall, rigid stance. Counters and apertures are often partially occluded by the cutouts, producing distinctive silhouettes that stay consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for headlines, posters, title cards, and branding moments where a stylized, ominous voice is desirable. It works particularly well for horror, fantasy, or game-related graphics, as well as album/merch artwork where texture and attitude matter more than long-form readability.
The overall tone is cryptic and dramatic, with a slightly menacing, stage-poster energy. Its sharp incisions and interrupted forms suggest ritual, fantasy, and noir atmospheres, while the geometric discipline adds an industrial, engineered edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive display look by combining condensed proportions with hollowed cutouts and a shadow-like internal splitting, maximizing character and atmosphere while remaining structurally consistent across the set.
In the sample text, the recurring internal breaks create a lively shimmer at larger sizes, but they also add visual noise in dense lines. The most legible results will come from generous tracking and short strings, where the notches and shadow-like splits can read as intentional texture instead of interference.
