A condensed, heavy display face with blackletter-inspired structure and a hand-drawn, inky finish. Strokes show subtle wobble and uneven edges, with pointed terminals, notched joins, and occasional teardrop-like counters that give the silhouettes a carved, organic look. Letterforms are compact with tight inner spaces and a lively, slightly uneven rhythm; widths vary noticeably across characters, reinforcing the handmade feel. Numerals and capitals carry the same blunt weight and angular flare, staying consistent in texture and presence.
Best suited to display applications where a gothic, old-world voice is needed—posters, title treatments, packaging accents, and logotype concepts. It also works well for book covers and entertainment contexts like fantasy or horror, where dramatic texture and medieval cues are an asset.
The overall tone feels medieval and theatrical, with a dark, spellbook energy. Its roughened edges and sharp terminals suggest mystery and folklore, leaning toward gothic and occult atmospheres rather than polished historical revival.
The design appears intended to evoke blackletter tradition while keeping a hand-rendered, ink-cut character for strong thematic impact. Its condensed proportions and bold silhouettes aim for immediate recognition and atmosphere in headline-scale typography.
In longer lines, the dense color and tight counters can build strong visual mass, making it best when given breathing room. The distinctive, sculpted shapes create high personality per letter, favoring short phrases and impactful headings over extended small-size reading.
