This typeface is built from hard, planar strokes with chamfered corners, replacing curves with sharp facets and straight segments. Stems are thick and uniform, with abrupt diagonal cuts at terminals that create a carved, geometric silhouette. Letterforms are condensed with tight internal counters, giving the set a dense, vertical rhythm; round characters like O and Q appear as angular, multi-sided forms. The lowercase follows the same structural logic, with a distinctly pointed, double-v look in w and a spiky, abbreviated s and t, while numerals are similarly blocky and cut with consistent diagonal notches.
Best suited for display applications where impact and thematic flavor matter more than long-form comfort: posters, packaging titles, editorial heads, album covers, and game or event branding. It can also work for short logotypes and badges where the faceted construction reads like cut lettering.
The overall tone is assertive and combative, evoking medieval or gothic signage through its chiseled, armor-like construction. Its sharp facets and heavy mass read as bold, dramatic, and slightly retro—suited to themes of tradition, power, and intensity rather than softness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to translate gothic/blackletter energy into a more geometric, faceted vocabulary—prioritizing strong silhouettes, sharp terminals, and a compact rhythm for high-impact display settings.
Distinctive diagonal truncations and wedge-like joins create a consistent “carved” texture across the alphabet, helping the design stay cohesive even at display sizes. The sample text shows strong word shape and presence, but the tight counters and angular construction suggest it will feel most comfortable when given generous size and spacing.
