A sharp, angular display serif with faceted contours and wedge-like flares at stroke terminals. The letterforms are built from straight segments with frequent triangular cuts and notches, creating a carved, chiseled silhouette. Stems stay consistently heavy while corners snap into points, producing high visual tension and a compact internal rhythm. Counters tend to be narrow and geometric, with occasional slit-like openings and asymmetric interior cuts that emphasize a hand-forged, metal-cut feel.
Best suited to short, bold applications such as posters, headlines, logotypes, packaging marks, and title treatments where its jagged flares and carved details can be appreciated. It can also work for genre-forward contexts like fantasy, metal, or historical theming in game titles and event branding, especially when set large with slightly increased letterspacing.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking medieval signage, heavy-metal poster aesthetics, and old-world heraldry. Its aggressive points and dense texture feel forceful and theatrical, prioritizing impact over subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver a blackletter-inspired presence through a modern, geometric build: heavy verticals, pointed joins, and flared terminals that mimic cut stone or incised lettering. The consistent, hard-edged construction suggests a focus on strong silhouette recognition and dramatic texture in display typography.
Capitals and lowercase share a unified, blocky construction, and many forms use distinctive interior notches that read clearly at larger sizes. The numeral set matches the same angular, flared treatment, supporting cohesive titling and poster work. Spacing in the sample text creates a dark, continuous typographic color that benefits from generous tracking when used in longer lines.
