A compact, dark blackletter with sharply broken strokes and chiseled terminals that create a rugged, hand-cut silhouette. Letterforms show pronounced vertical emphasis with irregular, faceted curves and frequent interior notches that read like carved counters rather than smooth joins. Capitals are broad and imposing, while lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with tight sidebearings and sturdy stems; bowls and diagonals are rendered as segmented planes. Numerals follow the same fractured construction, producing a consistent, high-impact texture in text.
Well-suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, packaging accents, and identity work that aims for a historic or gothic voice. It also fits entertainment contexts like game titles, album/merch graphics, and event materials where a forceful blackletter texture is desirable.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, with an ominous, dramatic presence suited to historical or occult-leaning atmospheres. Its heavy, jagged edges evoke inked calligraphy or carved lettering, giving it a theatrical, old-world intensity.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver an assertive blackletter look with a deliberately roughened, hand-rendered edge, emphasizing dramatic texture and period flavor. The consistent faceting across capitals, lowercase, and numerals suggests an intention to keep a unified, carved aesthetic in both titles and short text settings.
The design prioritizes strong silhouette and texture over small-size clarity, with counters that can close up and spurs that create busy detail in dense settings. It performs best when given breathing room through larger sizes, generous leading, or short lines where the angular rhythm can be appreciated.
