The "TETSUME" typeface is a stylized font that was designed for the intended use as decorative display text.

 

The name "TETSUME" translates to "iron claw" in Japanese, attributed to the rigidly sharp serifs located on the letter forms. The type design draws heavy inspiration from gothic black-lettering form, and places heavy emphasis on the contrasting forms of diagonal and horizontal planes.
