A condensed, heavy display face built from straight, monoline strokes and hard corners. The letterforms are tall and tightly proportioned, with frequent triangular notches and spear-like terminals that create a chiseled, cut-paper silhouette. Counters are generally small and rectangular, and many joins are abrupt, producing a rigid, architectural rhythm. Despite the narrow build, glyph widths vary noticeably, giving the texture a slightly uneven, hand-cut feel.
This font suits display-driven work where a strong, stylized texture is desired—posters, event graphics, album or merch typography, game/stream titles, and short logotypes. It’s especially effective for spooky, fantasy, or metal-adjacent themes, and for punchy one- or two-line headlines rather than long passages.
The overall tone is dramatic and slightly menacing, echoing blackletter and carved-sign aesthetics while feeling more playful than traditional. Its sharp terminals and tightly packed verticals create an intense, energetic voice suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to provide a highly distinctive, spiked display voice that nods to blackletter without strictly following historical forms. Its consistent monoline construction and repeated notch motifs suggest an emphasis on bold impact, strong texture, and memorable silhouette over continuous readability.
In text settings, the dense vertical patterning and small counters can darken quickly, so the design reads best with generous tracking and at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same notched, pointed detailing, reinforcing a consistent, aggressive texture across mixed content.
