A steeply slanted, highly stylized display face built from faceted strokes and sharp, chiseled terminals. Letterforms are compact and tall with a tight internal rhythm, mixing straight stems with angular joins and occasional notched cuts that suggest a carved or folded construction. Counters are small and often rectangular or slit-like, giving the glyphs a dense, high-impact silhouette. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent oblique axis and a hard-edged geometry that stays crisp across the set, including numerals with similarly cut, wedge-like forms.
This font is best suited to short, prominent text such as posters, event headlines, band or album graphics, game and film titles, and brand marks that want a heavy gothic punch. It can also work for merchandise and packaging where a bold, aggressive voice is desired, but it is likely to feel busy in long passages of small text.
The overall tone is dark, forceful, and theatrical, with a gothic edge that reads as intense and attention-seeking. Its sharp angles and compressed stance evoke metal and horror aesthetics as well as vintage poster lettering, creating a sense of speed and urgency.
The letterforms appear designed to fuse blackletter-inspired angularity with a modern, cut-metal slant, prioritizing impact and attitude over neutrality. The consistent faceting and tight proportions suggest an intention to deliver a distinctive, high-energy display texture that remains cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The design relies on strong silhouettes and pointed corners more than delicate interior detail, so it reads best when given room to breathe. Diagonal emphasis is prominent throughout, and the repeated chamfered corners create a cohesive, blade-like texture in text lines.
