A compact, angular display face with broken, chiseled-looking strokes and pronounced vertical emphasis. Letterforms are built from sharp facets and wedge-like terminals, with small notches and internal cuts that create a distressed, hand-carved texture. Curves are minimized into polygonal arcs, counters are tight, and joins often kink or taper abruptly, producing a lively, uneven rhythm. Capitals are tall and condensed with squared shoulders, while the lowercase keeps a similar narrow build and straight-sided stems, maintaining a consistent dark color across words.
Best suited to display settings where impact and atmosphere matter: posters, cover art, game or film titling, themed event graphics, and logo or wordmark explorations. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging where a dark, historic, or arcane mood is desired, but the dense texture suggests avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is gothic and dramatic, evoking medieval signage, old-world printing, and darker fantasy or horror aesthetics. Its rugged, hand-wrought irregularities add a gritty, rebellious edge that reads as intense rather than refined.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter-inspired forms with a deliberately rough, hand-cut finish, prioritizing character and mood over smooth regularity. Its condensed proportions and aggressive facets aim to deliver strong presence and immediate thematic association in headlines.
The silhouette stays strongly rectilinear and vertical, with occasional asymmetry and jitter that reads as intentionally distressed rather than mechanical. Numerals follow the same carved, faceted logic, keeping a cohesive texture for headlines and short bursts of text.
