A compact, heavy display sans built from rigid vertical stems and sharply cut corners. The forms rely on straight segments and crisp, triangular notches—especially at terminals—creating a carved, faceted silhouette. Counters are tight and often rectangular, with minimal internal space, and the rhythm is strongly vertical with occasional stepped joins and split strokes (notably in forms like M and W). Overall spacing appears tight and the letterforms maintain a consistent, hard-edged geometry across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where bold, compact letterforms need to hit hard: posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and title treatments. It also fits branding that wants a severe, engineered or medieval-futurist edge, and it can work well for game titles, band/album artwork, and event promotions where texture and attitude matter more than extended reading.
The tone is stern and forceful, evoking blackletter-inspired severity while staying firmly in a simplified, constructed sans vocabulary. Its sharp cuts and compact density read as militant, industrial, and game-like, lending an imposing, high-impact voice to short phrases.
The design appears intended to merge blackletter-like sharpness with a modern, constructed sans structure, prioritizing impact and a distinctive silhouette. Its consistent chiseled terminals and tight counters suggest a focus on branding and titling contexts where a strong, authoritative voice is desirable.
Uppercase and lowercase share a closely related construction, with lowercase retaining the same angular, carved logic rather than introducing round or humanist features. Numerals follow the same stepped, blade-like terminal treatment, helping headings and dates feel cohesive. The design favors graphic presence over small-size comfort, with many joins and apertures kept intentionally narrow.
