A display stencil with sharp, tapered strokes and pronounced wedge-like terminals that feel cut with a broad nib or chisel. Letterforms are built from separated segments, leaving consistent internal breaks that function as clear stencil bridges rather than distressed noise. Curves are taut and slightly asymmetric, with a lively rhythm created by alternating thick-to-thin transitions and subtly varied stroke angles. Proportions lean tall and narrow, with open counters and a crisp, high-contrast silhouette that stays readable at larger sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short passages where its bridged construction and tapered detailing can be appreciated—such as posters, title cards, event branding, packaging accents, and album or book covers. It can also work for thematic signage or labels when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The overall tone is arcane and ceremonial—evoking old-world inscriptions, occult ephemera, and stage-magic posters. Its broken strokes and razor-edged terminals add tension and drama, giving text a mysterious, slightly ominous presence without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to merge stencil practicality with an inscriptional, calligraphic edge—using deliberate bridges and chiseled terminals to produce a dramatic, theme-forward voice that reads as crafted and ceremonial rather than purely industrial.
Uppercase shapes show an inscriptional sensibility, while the lowercase keeps the same cut-stencil logic for continuity in mixed-case settings. Numerals and punctuation carry the same bridged construction, which helps maintain a cohesive texture across lines of text.
