A heavy, condensed display face with blackletter-inspired construction and sharply chamfered terminals. Strokes are predominantly straight and vertical, with frequent wedge cuts, notches, and triangular counters that create a faceted, carved look. The silhouette is blocky and dense, with tight internal apertures and abrupt joins; diagonals appear as hard slashes rather than smooth curves. Lowercase forms echo the uppercase structure, and figures follow the same cut-corner, vertical rhythm for a consistent, poster-like texture.
Best suited for high-impact headlines and short phrases in posters, album/merch graphics, game or film titles, and logo-style wordmarks that benefit from a gothic, chiseled voice. It works well in monochrome applications where its strong silhouette and cut details can carry the design without additional ornament.
The overall tone is dramatic and confrontational, evoking medieval signage, metal and horror titling, and stylized fantasy branding. Its jagged cuts and dense color give it an aggressive, theatrical energy that reads as intentionally eccentric rather than traditional.
The design appears intended to hybridize blackletter tradition with a modern, angular stencil-like carving, prioritizing a distinctive silhouette and dramatic texture over neutral readability. The consistent wedge cuts and notched counters suggest a deliberate effort to make the font feel hand-hewn and theatrical for display-centric work.
Legibility holds up best at larger sizes where the internal notches and wedge counters can be clearly resolved. In text settings the repeated verticals and tight apertures create a strong, patterned rhythm, so spacing and line length will materially affect readability.
