A condensed, slanted display face with chiseled, angular construction and visibly uneven stroke edges. Letterforms are built from straight stems and faceted curves with small wedge-like terminals, producing a slightly calligraphic, blackletter-adjacent flavor without full traditional textura structure. Strokes remain broadly consistent in thickness, but outlines show deliberate wobble and wear, as if stamped or printed from a rough plate. Counters are compact and often squared-off, and the rhythm alternates between rigid verticals and subtly kinked joins for an intentionally imperfect, handmade texture.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where the distressed texture can be appreciated: posters, chapter titles, book or album covers, game titles/UI headings, themed packaging, and event branding. It’s especially effective when paired with cleaner body text to contrast its rugged, antique character.
The overall tone is gritty and old-world, suggesting weathered print, hand-inked signage, or relic-like titling. Its sharp corners and distressed finish give it a dramatic, slightly ominous energy that can read as medieval, occult, or adventure-oriented depending on context.
The design appears intended to evoke aged, imperfect printing and carved or inked letterforms, combining a condensed gothic-inspired silhouette with intentional roughness for strong thematic impact in display settings.
Capitals have strong presence and a poster-like stance, while the lowercase keeps a tight, narrow footprint that reinforces the compact, columnar texture in words. Numerals echo the same blocky, faceted logic, staying legible while maintaining the roughened edges.
