A geometric, monoline letterform with a distinctly angular skeleton and softly rounded stroke endings. Many glyphs rely on straight segments and wedge-like joins, with frequent use of triangular and diamond-shaped forms (notably in counters and diagonals), creating an intentionally uneven, hand-drawn rhythm. Spacing and widths vary by letter, and several characters use simplified, open constructions that keep the texture airy despite the sharp geometry. Overall contrast is minimal, with consistent stroke weight and clean, uncluttered silhouettes.
Best suited to display use such as posters, title treatments, branding marks, and packaging where its rune-like geometry can be a feature. It also fits fantasy-themed interfaces and game-related graphics, and can work for short editorial pull quotes or headings when set with comfortable tracking.
The face reads as rune-inspired and arcane, mixing sharp, symbol-like shapes with approachable rounded terminals. It carries a crafted, adventurous tone—more “fantasy prop” than neutral UI—while remaining friendly enough to feel playful rather than severe.
The design appears intended to evoke stylized runes and carved signage while staying legible through consistent stroke weight and softened terminals. Its simplified, geometric constructions prioritize character and theme over strict typographic regularity, aiming for a distinctive display voice.
Distinctive diamond and triangular motifs give the alphabet a cohesive sign-system feel, and the numerals echo the same angular language. The stroke rounding helps prevent the sharp geometry from feeling brittle, especially in larger settings.
