A heavy, angular display face built from faceted strokes with sharp chamfered corners and pointed terminals. Forms are compact and boxy, with frequent diagonal cuts creating a rhythmic pattern of wedges and notches across stems, bowls, and joins. Counters are small and geometric, and several letters show blackletter-like construction cues (broken curves, vertical emphasis, and hooked joins) while remaining cleanly monolinear in feel. Numerals follow the same cut-metal geometry, with squared-off shapes and abrupt angle changes that read crisply at larger sizes.
Best suited to short display settings such as headlines, title treatments, logos, posters, and packaging where a dramatic, faceted gothic voice is desired. It also fits game title screens, fantasy-themed graphics, and music or event promos that benefit from a sharp, high-impact texture.
The overall tone is forceful and theatrical, evoking gothic signage, fantasy iconography, and hard-edged game or metal aesthetics. Its spiky silhouettes and fractured curves give it an energetic, slightly menacing character that feels intentionally stylized rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to merge blackletter-inspired structure with a modern, cut-and-chiseled geometric language, prioritizing striking silhouettes and a consistent system of angled terminals. Its construction suggests a focus on creating a memorable texture for titling rather than extended reading comfort.
Spacing appears relatively tight in text, and the strong diagonal chamfers create a distinctive texture line-to-line. The design’s many acute angles and small counters make it most convincing when given enough size and breathing room, where the internal cuts and notches remain legible.
