A heavy, slanted display face with blackletter-informed construction and a hand-cut, brushy finish. Strokes are thick and compact with tapered terminals and sharp, wedge-like corners that create a chiseled silhouette. The rhythm is lively rather than rigid: curves bulge slightly, joins pinch, and counters stay relatively tight, producing a dense, punchy texture. Letterforms show stylized, calligraphic modulation—especially in diagonals and arms—while maintaining consistent overall color and strong presence in words.
Best suited to short, bold applications such as posters, event titles, album/track artwork, brand marks, and packaging that benefits from a gothic edge. It works particularly well in large sizes where the pointed terminals and carved shapes can be appreciated, and where a dense, high-impact word shape is desirable.
The font communicates a gothic, medieval-leaning attitude with a bold, street-poster energy. Its sharp edges and aggressive slant give it a rebellious, high-impact tone that reads as intense and performative rather than polite or understated. Overall, it feels suited to dramatic statements and stylized branding with a dark, edgy mood.
The design appears intended to merge blackletter cues with a more spontaneous, hand-rendered feel, delivering strong visual impact without the strict formalism of traditional gothic text faces. Its slant, tight counters, and wedge detailing suggest a focus on expressive display typography for contemporary, attitude-forward messaging.
Distinctive wedge terminals and pointed notches show up across both uppercase and lowercase, giving the design a carved/ink-brushed hybrid character. Numerals follow the same angular, weighty style, keeping headings and short numeric callouts visually consistent with text. In the sample, the dense texture remains legible at large sizes, though the tight counters and busy joins suggest using generous size and spacing for best clarity.
