A heavy, angular display face built from straight strokes and sharp planar facets, with pointed joins and clipped corners standing in for curves. Stems are thick and predominantly monoline, with small counters and tight interior spaces that create a dense, blocky color. The overall geometry favors verticality and hard diagonals, while bowls and rounds resolve into polygonal forms. Uppercase and lowercase share a unified, constructed feel, with simplified forms and occasional asymmetry that adds a slightly handmade, cut-from-plate rhythm.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, event titling, and logo wordmarks where a hard-edged identity is desirable. It also fits album artwork, gaming/streaming graphics, and themed packaging or signage that benefits from a rugged, constructed texture.
The tone is forceful and gritty, evoking chiseled lettering, hard-edged signage, and a gothic/metal sensibility without ornamental flourishes. Its compact counters and sharp terminals read as assertive and dramatic, lending an intense, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter-like weight and presence into a stripped, geometric system, replacing calligraphic modulation with faceted planes. Its goal is impact and character at display sizes, prioritizing a strong silhouette and consistent angular language across glyphs.
The faceting creates strong highlights and directional energy in text, but the tight apertures and small counters suggest it will hold up best with generous sizes and spacing. Numerals follow the same angular construction and maintain the dense, armored texture of the alphabet.
