A blackletter-inspired display face with condensed proportions, sharp wedge terminals, and a distinctly angular, broken-stroke construction. Strokes alternate between stout verticals and thin connecting hairlines, creating a lively, high-contrast rhythm with pointed joins and notched corners. The contours show deliberate roughness and small interior voids that read like worn ink or distressed printing, giving counters a pitted, irregular texture. Capitals are ornate and crest-like, while lowercase keeps a compact, vertical emphasis with firm serifs and occasional hooked descenders; numerals follow the same faceted, carved character.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as posters, covers, title sequences, and logo-style wordmarks where the blackletter structure and distressed texture can be appreciated. It also works for thematic packaging or event materials that need an antique or occult atmosphere; for longer passages, larger sizes and added spacing help maintain legibility.
The overall tone feels medieval and ceremonial with a darker, more sinister edge. Its spiky silhouettes and worn texture suggest arcane signage, old broadsides, or horror-era titling rather than polite editorial typography.
This font appears designed to fuse traditional blackletter forms with a deliberately weathered print effect, prioritizing dramatic silhouette and atmosphere. The goal is strong period flavor with a gritty, cinematic finish for display-led typography.
The distressing is consistent enough to feel intentional, but it introduces sparkling texture at text sizes and can make small details merge in tight settings. The design reads most clearly with generous tracking and moderate line spacing, where the pointed terminals and broken-stroke rhythm have room to breathe.
