A tightly condensed, monoline display face built from straight strokes and crisp faceted joins. Curves are largely replaced by angled segments, producing pointed terminals, chamfered corners, and occasional diamond-like counters. The verticals read dominant and rigid, while diagonals appear as clean planar cuts; bowls and rounds resolve into narrow, multi-angled forms. Proportions are tall and compressed with compact apertures, giving the alphabet a consistent, blade-like texture in both upper- and lowercase.
Best used at display sizes for posters, titles, branding marks, and packaging where an edgy, angular identity is desired. It can also work for short UI labels in games or interfaces that lean into a sharp, industrial aesthetic, but extended paragraphs will benefit from generous tracking and larger sizes.
The overall tone is stark and dramatic, with a blackletter-adjacent sharpness translated into a modern, geometric voice. Its narrow, spiky rhythm feels mechanical and tense—suited to ominous, cinematic, or high-contrast themes rather than casual or friendly messaging.
The design appears intended to evoke a chiseled, faceted sans with a gothic edge—replacing traditional curves with planar cuts to produce a distinctive, high-impact silhouette. Its condensed build prioritizes visual punch and vertical economy for headline-driven typography.
In running text, the repeated pointed vertices create a strong vertical cadence and a dense word shape, so spacing and size become important for readability. Numerals and capitals share the same faceted construction, reinforcing a unified, architectural look.
