A stylized blackletter display face with sharp, faceted terminals and broken, wedge-like serifs that give strokes a chiseled, cut-paper feel. The forms lean slightly and keep a compact footprint, with dense vertical structure and abrupt angle changes rather than smooth curves. Counters are tight and irregularly polygonal, and joins often pinch into pointed corners, creating a lively, jagged rhythm across words. Numerals and capitals follow the same angular construction, with consistent thickness and minimal internal modulation.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event flyers, album/track artwork, game titles, branding marks, and label or packaging moments that want a gothic or medieval cue. It can work for punchy subheads or pull quotes, but extended passages will read most comfortably at larger sizes with generous leading.
The overall tone is gothic and theatrical, evoking medieval signage, metal-band titling, and spooky storybook atmosphere. Its spiky silhouettes and compressed texture feel intense and decorative rather than calm or neutral, lending an intentionally “wacky” edge when used in longer phrases.
The design appears intended to modernize blackletter into a compact, attention-grabbing display style by emphasizing angular cuts, strong vertical rhythm, and playful irregularities. It aims for instant mood and recognizable gothic flavor while keeping the letterforms bold and graphic for contemporary titling.
Spacing appears tight and the texture becomes very dark in text lines, so clarity depends heavily on size and contrast. The uppercase has a strong presence, while the lowercase keeps the blackletter flavor with simplified, punchy shapes that prioritize impact over smooth readability.
