This typeface is built from sharp, faceted strokes that replace curves with beveled angles and pointed terminals. Stems are consistently narrow and mostly monolinear, with crisp corners and frequent diamond-like joins that create a carved, planar look. Counters tend to be small and polygonal (notably in O, D, and 0), and diagonals snap to straight segments rather than smooth arcs. Overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with compact spacing and a strong emphasis on pointed tops and notched inner corners.
Best suited to display sizes where the faceting and pointed terminals can be appreciated—such as posters, event graphics, title cards, and brand marks that want a gothic or hard-edged tone. It can also work for short emphatic lines in packaging or editorial display, but the tight, angular texture is likely to feel dense in long passages at small sizes.
The letterforms evoke a blackletter-adjacent, gothic mood translated into a clean, geometric idiom. Its spiky facets and dagger-like terminals convey intensity and theatricality, reading as ominous, ceremonial, and distinctly heavy-music adjacent without relying on ornate flourishes.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, simplified take on gothic/blackletter energy using planar geometry and consistent stroke treatment. By avoiding delicate hairlines and complex ornament, it aims for a bold, emblematic texture that reads quickly while retaining a distinctly sharpened personality.
Uppercase and lowercase share a unified angular vocabulary, keeping texture consistent across mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same chiseled geometry and remain legible, with distinctive silhouettes built from straight segments and pointed joins.
