This typeface is a blackletter-inspired design with angular construction, broken curves, and sharp, triangular terminals. Strokes show strong modulation and abrupt joins, producing a faceted rhythm across words. Edges and counters carry a roughened, chipped texture that reads like worn print or distressed ink, while the overall letterforms remain structurally crisp and upright. Uppercase characters are tall and commanding with narrow interior apertures; lowercase forms keep a compact, vertical posture with pointed ascenders and dense bowls.
It works best for display settings where texture and atmosphere are desirable: posters, title treatments, album/track artwork, game and entertainment branding, and themed packaging. Use larger sizes and generous tracking to keep the dense blackletter structure clear, especially over busy backgrounds.
The font conveys an antique, gothic atmosphere with a darker, more aggressive edge due to its jagged distressing and thorn-like details. It suggests tradition and ceremony, but the rough surface treatment pushes it toward ominous, gritty, and dramatic territory.
The design appears intended to blend traditional blackletter structure with a deliberately weathered finish, creating a dramatic, era-evoking voice that feels both historic and hard-edged. The distressed detailing adds character and grit without abandoning the underlying gothic proportions and vertical cadence.
In running text, the tight internal spaces and sharp joins create a dense color on the page, especially in combinations with repeated vertical strokes. The numerals follow the same angular, engraved-like logic and maintain the distressed detailing for a cohesive set.
