A tightly condensed, blackletter-influenced display face with tall, rectilinear proportions and sharp, chiseled terminals. Strokes are built from straight segments with frequent angled cuts and notch-like joins, producing a fractured rhythm across words. Contrast is pronounced, with thin hairlines and pointed wedges accenting the heavier vertical structure. The lowercase maintains a compact, vertical texture, while capitals read as narrow, architectural forms with inset facets and occasional interior slashes.
Best suited to short display settings where its condensed, fractured forms can be appreciated: headlines, poster titling, logotypes, packaging accents, and cover art. It can also work for thematic materials such as horror, fantasy, metal, or vintage-circus aesthetics, especially when paired with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone feels arcane and theatrical, evoking old-world signage and gothic print traditions filtered through a more idiosyncratic, edgy construction. Its spiky cuts and compressed stance give it a slightly ominous, ritualistic energy, while the irregular detailing adds a quirky, one-off character rather than strict historical fidelity.
The design appears intended to reinterpret gothic/blackletter cues into a narrow, highly stylized display voice, prioritizing dramatic silhouette and distinctive texture over continuous reading comfort. Its consistent use of angled cuts and wedge terminals suggests a deliberate, decorative system meant to stand out in titles and branding.
Counters are generally tight and angular, so the face creates a dense, dark typographic color even at moderate sizes. Numerals follow the same narrow, cut-corner logic, reading as stylized, poster-friendly figures rather than text numerals. The sample text shows strong vertical cadence and distinctive word shapes, with the sharp terminals and internal facets becoming key identifying features.
