An outline-only display face built from thin, single-line contours with no filled stems. Letterforms are angular and faceted, mixing sharp wedges, diamond counters, and small notches that create a carved, cut-out look. Strokes maintain an even outline weight while edges kink and taper into points, giving the glyphs an intentionally irregular, hand-rendered rhythm. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph with narrow bodies and occasional tall ascenders/descenders; counters are often small or triangular, and punctuation and figures follow the same jagged, ornamental construction.
Best suited for short bursts such as posters, title treatments, logos, and packaging where the outline texture can read clearly. It also fits fantasy or horror-leaning themes in game UI, event graphics, and album artwork, especially at larger sizes where the interior cut-outs and sharp terminals remain legible.
The overall tone reads arcane and theatrical, with a slightly mischievous, DIY energy. Its spiky geometry and rune-like details evoke fantasy and occult ephemera—more spellbook than signage—while staying playful rather than grim.
The design appears intended as an expressive outline display font that mimics scratched, carved, or rune-inspired letterforms. Its primary goal seems to be delivering a distinctive themed texture and atmosphere rather than neutral, long-form readability.
The face relies on distinctive negative-space shapes (diamond and wedge openings) and asymmetrical nicks to create character, which makes it more about texture than smooth readability. In continuous text it forms a lively, uneven pattern, with capitals and lowercase sharing a similarly decorative voice rather than a strict text/humanist distinction.
