A slanted, angular blackletter with faceted curves and sharp, chiseled terminals. Strokes appear built from broad-pen logic—straight segments with abrupt directional changes—creating a broken, crystalline rhythm through bowls and diagonals. Capitals are tall and compact with pointed joins and notched interiors, while lowercase forms keep a tight, vertical structure with frequent hooks and wedge-like ends. Numerals echo the same cut, polygonal construction, maintaining a consistent texture across lines.
Best suited to display settings where its jagged blackletter texture can read as a stylistic statement—posters, title treatments, album or band identities, and gothic-themed branding. It can also work for short headlines or labels where a medieval or dark-fantasy mood is desired.
The overall tone is dark and energetic, blending medieval manuscript flavor with a faster, handwritten urgency. Its spiky geometry and aggressive slant feel assertive and theatrical, with a distinctly gothic attitude suited to bold, attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional blackletter voice by adding a pronounced slant and brisk, handwritten momentum while preserving the hallmark angular construction and dense texture. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and atmosphere, aiming for impactful display use over quiet text neutrality.
In running text, the dense angular pattern creates a strong “black” texture and a pronounced directional flow from the italic lean. Many forms rely on tight counters and sharp interior corners, which emphasizes ornament and character over long-form readability.
