This typeface uses a compact, vertical build with mostly monoline strokes and crisp, beveled terminals that read like cut or chiseled corners rather than rounded joins. Curves are restrained and often faceted into straight segments, giving bowls and shoulders a polygonal feel (notably in C, S, and the lowercase). Counters are tight and apertures tend to be narrow, producing a dense, emphatic texture in lines of text. Several forms show stylized breaks and angled spur-like ends, while the overall rhythm stays consistent and upright across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display applications where its beveled geometry can be appreciated: posters, headlines, cover art, title sequences, and branded graphics. It can work for short emphatic passages or pull quotes, but the dense texture and sharp detailing make it less ideal for extended body copy.
The tone is bold and atmospheric, blending a blackletter-adjacent sharpness with a clean, sans-based construction. Its pointed details and compact stance evoke a dramatic, slightly ominous mood that feels at home in genre-forward or theatrical settings rather than neutral editorial work.
The design intention appears to be a modern, stylized display sans that borrows the tension and edge of gothic letterforms while keeping simplified, constructed silhouettes. The consistent faceting and pointed terminals suggest a focus on impact, personality, and a distinctive silhouette in titles and logos.
At text sizes the angular terminals and tight interior spaces create strong patterning, so spacing and size choice will matter for readability. Figures and uppercase share the same faceted logic, supporting cohesive titling and short-form display use.
