This typeface is built from crisp, planar strokes that replace curves with chamfered corners and pointed terminals. Stems are consistently heavy with minimal modulation, creating a compact, dense texture, while counters are tight and often polygonal. Uppercase forms feel tall and rigid, with distinctive hexagonal/diamond-like bowls and diagonally clipped joins; lowercase follows suit with similarly faceted construction and a restrained, utilitarian rhythm. Numerals echo the same geometry, with sharply cut diagonals and enclosed forms that read as beveled shapes rather than rounded figures.
It performs best in short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where its faceted construction can be appreciated. It also suits album/merch graphics and thematic titling where a hard-edged, industrial or gothic mood is desired; for longer reading, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is severe and engineered, mixing a modern, machined sharpness with a faint blackletter-era austerity. Its spiky facets and compressed presence project intensity and discipline, making it feel bold, declarative, and slightly confrontational.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, sharpened take on gothic proportions using a systematic faceted geometry. By trading curves for beveled planes and maintaining a consistent, sturdy stroke presence, it aims to create a distinctive, emblematic voice for display typography.
The family’s visual identity hinges on consistent corner cutting: inside corners, diagonals, and terminals align to a coherent facet system that stays readable even in longer lines. The texture in paragraph setting remains dark and continuous, with distinctive silhouettes that make individual words feel logo-like.
