A narrow, upright display face with blackletter-inspired construction and a hand-drawn, chiseled finish. Strokes are mostly straight and vertically emphasized, with broken curves and pointed terminals that create a carved, slightly ragged edge. Forms show deliberate irregularities and mild wobble from glyph to glyph, while keeping a consistent vertical rhythm and compact counters. Contrast is moderate, with occasional swelling at corners and joints rather than smooth calligraphic modulation.
Best suited for short display settings such as fantasy or horror book covers, game titles and UI headers, event posters, band logos, and packaging that aims for an antiquated or arcane feel. It can work for pull quotes or brief paragraphs at larger sizes, but the textured, narrow forms are most effective when given room to breathe.
The overall tone feels medieval and ominous, like lettering cut into wood or stone for a fantasy setting. Its sharp joins, narrow silhouettes, and textured edges give it a tense, dramatic presence that reads as ritualistic and story-driven rather than polite or modern.
The design appears intended to evoke blackletter tradition through narrow, vertical construction while deliberately avoiding polished precision. Its irregular outlines and pointed details suggest a handcrafted, distressed aesthetic aimed at atmospheric titling and narrative world-building.
Spacing appears fairly tight and the dense interior shapes can darken quickly in continuous text, especially where vertical strokes repeat. Numerals and capitals maintain the same angular, hand-hewn language, supporting a cohesive headline and titling voice.
