A heavy, blackletter-influenced display face with blocky proportions and aggressively chamfered corners. Strokes are built from straight segments with frequent octagonal cuts, creating notches and spur-like terminals that make each letter feel carved rather than written. Counters are compact and angular, and the overall rhythm is dense but crisp, with consistent vertical stress and a sturdy, poster-ready silhouette across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short display settings such as posters, headlines, logos, title cards, and themed packaging where its angular detailing can read clearly. It works especially well for fantasy, medieval, craft, or Halloween-adjacent branding, as well as playful event graphics and game/UI title treatments. For longer text, it functions more as an accent or pull-quote style than a continuous reading face.
The tone reads as medieval and theatrical, but with a deliberately offbeat, cartoonish edge. Its sharp cuts and chunky construction evoke signage, fantasy props, and tongue-in-cheek “old world” references rather than formal historical text. The result feels bold, mischievous, and a little rough-hewn.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter and gothic cues through a simplified, faceted construction—prioritizing impact and character over calligraphic fidelity. By using consistent chamfers and notches, it aims to feel hand-cut or stamped, delivering a distinctive, decorative voice for themed display typography.
Uppercase forms are more geometric and emblematic, while the lowercase introduces extra quirks—tight joins, small protrusions, and uneven internal angles that add personality. Numerals match the same chiseled logic, staying highly graphic and consistent with the letterforms. The face maintains strong presence at large sizes, where the internal cuts and corner facets remain legible design features.
