A heavy blackletter with compact, faceted forms and pronounced angular joins. Strokes show slight flare and wedge-like terminals, with subtle hand-drawn irregularity that gives individual letters a carved, inked feel rather than rigid metal type precision. The rhythm is lively and somewhat uneven, with narrow internal counters and occasional notches that create a textured silhouette. Lowercase and figures follow the same sharp, calligraphic logic, producing dense word shapes and strong dark color on the page.
Best suited for display use such as posters, album or book covers, event titles, and branding marks where a medieval or gothic cue is desired. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the dense texture and narrow counters make it less ideal for long, small-size reading.
The overall tone is medieval and gothic, evoking manuscripts, heraldic lettering, and storybook dark-fantasy atmospheres. Its rugged edges and emphatic verticality read as dramatic and ceremonial, with a slightly mischievous, handmade energy.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive blackletter voice with a handcrafted edge—combining traditional gothic structure with intentionally irregular, chiseled details to feel historic, theatrical, and characterful in modern display settings.
In text settings it creates a very dark typographic color, and the irregular widths and cut-in details become part of the texture. The numerals are stylized to match the letterforms, leaning more decorative than utilitarian.
