A sharply angular, decorative display face with blackletter-inspired construction and a largely monoline stroke weight. Letterforms are built from straight segments and squared counters, punctuated by pointed, flared terminals that create horn-like tips at ends and corners. The lowercase follows the same rigid, modular geometry as the uppercase, giving the alphabet a consistent, cut-from-metal feel. Spacing appears tight and the overall color is dense, with distinctive internal notches and inset shapes that emphasize a stencil-like rhythm in some glyphs.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, covers, event flyers, and title treatments where its angular detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for branding marks, game or film title cards, and thematic packaging that leans into gothic or fantasy cues. For longer paragraphs, it will be more effective in larger sizes with generous spacing.
The font projects a dramatic, gothic-leaning attitude with a playful, slightly menacing edge. Its spiked terminals and rigid geometry evoke fantasy, heavy music, and arcade-era title screens, reading as intentionally stylized rather than traditional. The result feels theatrical and attention-grabbing, suited to designs that want an ornate, confrontational voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, decorative voice by combining blackletter cues with a simplified, geometric build and exaggerated pointed terminals. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and texture over neutrality, aiming for immediate thematic recognition and strong display presence.
Numerals and capitals carry especially strong presence due to their blocky silhouettes and deep interior cuts. Many forms rely on sharp cornering and symmetrical, squared apertures, which increases visual texture at text sizes and makes the face feel more like a logo/display tool than a long-reading text font.
