A decorative blackletter-inspired design with chunky verticals, sharp wedge terminals, and frequent notches that create a cut, chipped silhouette. Strokes alternate between heavy stems and thinner connecting joins, producing an engraved, high-drama rhythm without a calligraphic smoothness. Counters are compact and irregularly shaped, and many glyphs show hooked or flared ends that feel intentionally roughened. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same jagged, carved logic, with noticeably stylized forms that prioritize character over neutrality.
Best suited for display settings where a bold, characterful texture is desirable—posters, headlines, branding marks, and title treatments. It can work well for fantasy or horror-adjacent themes, event graphics, album/merch designs, and game or tabletop materials where legibility at smaller sizes is secondary to mood.
The font reads as theatrical and unruly, evoking medieval signage, pulp horror titling, and mischievous fantasy ephemera. Its rough edges and exaggerated points lend a slightly sinister, tongue-in-cheek energy rather than formal tradition.
The design appears intended to remix blackletter conventions into a more cartooned, irregular display voice, emphasizing jagged silhouettes and dramatic contrast for immediate thematic signaling and strong shelf impact.
In text, the strong texture quickly dominates the page and the irregular edges create a lively, noisy color across lines. The alphabet shows consistent construction but embraces one-off quirks in key shapes, making it best treated as a display face rather than a workhorse.
