This typeface is built from straight strokes and sharp planar cuts, replacing curves with chamfered angles and polygonal counters. Vertical stems are dominant and consistently heavy, with pointed terminals and frequent diagonal clipping that creates a chiseled silhouette. Forms stay mostly monoline in feel, relying on facets and corners for contrast rather than modulation, while counters in letters like O, Q, and P read as compact, angular apertures. Overall spacing is relatively tight and the rhythm is vertical and regimented, with crisp joins and a distinctly geometric construction.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, headlines, game or fantasy branding, and logo wordmarks where the angular texture can lead. It also works well on packaging or labels that benefit from a forged, ceremonial feel, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The tone is unapologetically Gothic and martial, echoing carved lettering, metalwork, and medieval signage. Its sharp geometry and rigid stance suggest authority and ceremony, with a slightly ominous, fantasy-leaning edge that feels suited to dramatic titles and emblems.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter-inspired structure into a clean, geometric system, emphasizing faceted construction and crisp terminals over calligraphic stroke behavior. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and themed atmosphere for impactful, title-focused typography.
The faceting is highly consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a unified, cut-stone impression. The sample text shows strong word-shape at display sizes, while the tight interior spaces and pointed details become denser as size decreases.
