A sharply angular display face with narrow, vertical proportions and dramatic black presence. Letterforms are built from faceted strokes with knife‑edge corners, frequent spur-like terminals, and intermittent breaks that create a stenciled, cut-metal feel. Many glyphs include thin inline slits and small notch details that add a striped interior rhythm while keeping counters tight or partially collapsed. Curves are minimized and when present appear as tense, kinked bends; overall spacing and widths vary noticeably, reinforcing an irregular, hand-cut construction.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where its angular detailing and dense texture can be appreciated, such as posters, event titles, album/film artwork, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short bursts on packaging or labels where a dramatic, vintage showcard mood is desired, but it is less appropriate for small UI text or long-form reading.
The tone is theatrical and slightly menacing, mixing gothic signage cues with a playful, sideshow edge. Its dense blacks and jagged silhouettes read as rebellious and dramatic, evoking vintage posters, occult ephemera, and outlaw branding rather than polite editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly distinctive, poster-ready voice by combining condensed gothic forms with cut-in inline detailing and irregular, spurred terminals. The goal is impact and character—an eye-catching, crafted look that feels like it was carved or stamped for expressive display typography.
In longer lines the repeated verticals and inline cuts create a distinctive texture, but the intricate notches and compressed interior spaces can soften legibility at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same faceted, condensed construction, maintaining the spurred, cut-out aesthetic across the set.
