A very heavy, blackletter-inspired display face with compact proportions and a pronounced, jagged silhouette. Strokes are thick and mostly vertical, with angular joins and sharp, thorn-like protrusions that break the edges throughout. Counters tend to be small and tight, and terminals often end in pointed wedges or irregular nicks, creating a rough, distressed outline while keeping the core letter skeleton structured and readable. Numerals match the same chunky, notched construction for a consistent texture across mixed text.
Best suited to headlines, title cards, posters, and packaging that needs an immediate gothic-horror cue. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) at generous sizes, especially in high-contrast layouts where its dense forms won’t clog.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, blending gothic letterforms with a distressed, torn-edge effect. The spiky interruptions and dense color give it a sinister, haunted feel suited to horror and dark fantasy aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic gothic/blackletter structure while amplifying menace through distressed, spike-like detailing. Its heavy weight and tight counters prioritize impact and atmosphere over quiet readability, making it a purpose-built display face for dramatic, horror-leaning themes.
Texture is high and the interior space is constrained, so the face reads best at larger sizes where the irregular edges and sharp details can resolve cleanly. The rhythm is strongly vertical and blocky, producing a dark, poster-like typographic color across lines of text.
