A jagged, blackletter-inspired display face with chunky stems and a consistently notched, serrated edge treatment that reads like a sawtooth or pixel-chiseled outline. Letterforms are upright with stout proportions and tight, faceted joins; curves are built from small angular steps rather than smooth arcs. The rhythm is irregular and lively, with slight width variation across glyphs and compact counters that keep the texture dense at text sizes.
Best suited to short display settings where the serrated outline can be appreciated—posters, headlines, titles, and branding moments that want a handcrafted or fantasy-tinged voice. It also works well for game UI/title screens, event promos, and packaging accents where a rugged, ornamental texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels mischievous and storybook-gothic, mixing medieval/old-world cues with an intentionally rough, game-like edge. Its toothy silhouette gives it a slightly spooky, cryptic energy while staying playful and decorative rather than severe.
The design appears intended to evoke blackletter tradition while deliberately disrupting it with a chiseled, toothy contour, creating a one-off decorative texture that stands out immediately. The emphasis is on silhouette, atmosphere, and novelty rather than continuous-text readability.
Uppercase forms lean toward simplified blackletter structures, while lowercase maintains a similarly angular, notched construction that helps unify mixed-case settings. Numerals match the same faceted logic, with a distinct, cut-out feel that emphasizes silhouette over interior detail.
