A dramatic, blackletter-influenced display face with sharply cut terminals and irregular, blade-like tapers. Strokes swell and pinch with a carved, calligraphic feel, producing a lively texture and uneven rhythm across words. Counters are generally compact, and many joins form pointed notches that read as deliberate “bites” from the silhouette. The lowercase keeps a sturdy, compact stance with distinctive, angular shoulders and a strongly shaped single-storey feel where applicable; figures match the same chiseled, flared treatment for a cohesive set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror and fantasy titles, poster headlines, game or movie logo treatments, and themed packaging. It works especially well when given generous size and breathing room so the spurs, notches, and sharp terminals remain legible.
The font projects an ominous, ritualistic tone—like hand-cut lettering for curses, covenants, or old-world warnings. Its aggressive edges and twitchy modulation create tension and unease, while the blackletter heritage adds a medieval, arcane gravitas.
Likely designed to merge blackletter structure with a more chaotic, threatening edge—prioritizing atmosphere and silhouette over smooth text readability. The consistent chiseled modulation and pointed terminals suggest an intention to evoke hand-cut, spellbook or dungeon signage aesthetics.
Spacing appears intentionally uneven to enhance a hand-made, distressed cadence; this helps the spooky character but can reduce clarity at small sizes. The most distinctive trait is the consistent use of dagger-like terminals and inward nicks that create high-impact silhouettes in headlines.
