A heavy, compressed display face with irregular, faceted contours and chiseled-looking joins. Strokes are predominantly straight and angular, punctuated by sharp terminals, notches, and small internal cut-ins that create a slightly distressed, hand-cut silhouette. The rhythm is intentionally uneven: curves are minimized, counters skewed and occasionally pinched, and verticals can subtly lean or wobble, giving the line a lively, restless texture. Capitals have a gothic/blackletter echo in their construction, while the lowercase stays compact with chunky, asymmetric forms that keep the texture dense in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, titles, and logo-style wordmarks where its jagged texture and compact density can read as intentional attitude. It can add personality to packaging, event graphics, or album art, especially when set large with generous tracking to keep the intricate cut-ins from clumping.
The overall tone is playful and unruly, mixing medieval poster drama with a comic, off-kilter energy. It feels mischievous rather than formal, suggesting spectacle, humor, and a bit of chaos—ideal when you want lettering to act as a character in the design.
This font appears designed to deliver high-impact display lettering with an intentionally imperfect, hand-hewn feel. By blending blackletter-like structure with irregular, angular detailing, it aims to create a distinctive, wacky voice that stands out immediately in short-form text.
The design relies on silhouette impact: tight spacing, tall vertical emphasis, and crisp corners produce strong word shapes at display sizes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same carved, irregular logic, helping headings and short phrases maintain a consistent, theatrical presence.
