A stylized blackletter with tightly drawn proportions and sharply faceted geometry. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin contrast, with abrupt, blade-like terminals and frequent triangular notches that make the outlines feel fractured and aggressive. Curves are minimized into angled joins, counters are compact, and the rhythm is vertical and segmented, producing a dense, dark texture in words. Numerals follow the same cut-metal logic, with pointed feet and abrupt turns that keep the set visually consistent.
Best suited to display settings where the angular texture and sharp terminals can read clearly: horror or dark-fantasy posters, title treatments for games and films, album/merch graphics, and punchy branding for themed events. It works well for short lines, logos, and emphatic pull quotes where its dense blackletter color becomes a design feature.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, combining medieval blackletter cues with jagged, horror-leaning cuts. The sharp terminals and broken edges evoke danger, occult energy, and a gritty, suspenseful mood rather than formal tradition.
The design appears intended to modernize a blackletter foundation with harsher, spiked detailing to heighten tension and visual impact. Its compact structure and aggressive terminals aim for immediate atmosphere and strong shelf/poster presence.
In the text sample, the dense interior shapes and frequent spikes create a strong silhouette at display sizes, while the fractured details can visually fill in at smaller sizes or in long lines. Capitals are especially dominant and ornamental, making them effective for headline-led layouts.
