A compact, blackletter-leaning display face with dense vertical stems, sharp wedge-like terminals, and intermittent broken joins that suggest rough printing. Letterforms are built from angular strokes with pointed notches and small spur details, while counters stay relatively tight and irregular. Edges show purposeful chipping and uneven contours, creating a textured silhouette that reads like ink wear or distressed metal type. Overall rhythm is vertical and blocky, with crisp internal angles contrasting against the roughened perimeter.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as poster headlines, title cards, cover art, and themed packaging where the distressed blackletter flavor is part of the message. It can also work for chapter openers or pull quotes when set large with generous tracking and line spacing.
The font conveys a medieval, ominous tone with a handmade, weathered character. Its distressed texture adds grit and age, lending a sense of folklore, alchemy, or vintage ephemera rather than polished modernity.
The design appears intended to evoke old-world blackletter typography while adding deliberate degradation to mimic aged print, rough ink, or eroded letterpress forms. It prioritizes atmosphere and texture over neutrality, aiming to deliver instant thematic impact in display contexts.
In longer lines the texture remains consistent, but the tight counters and busy interior shapes make it better suited to larger sizes. Numerals match the same angular, carved construction and share the same worn surface treatment for cohesive titling.
