An angular, blackletter-influenced display face with a pronounced rightward slant and heavy, wedge-like terminals. Strokes are largely monolinear in feel, with sharp triangular cut-ins, pointed joins, and tightly folded corners that create a faceted, chiseled texture. Counters are small and often rectangular, and many glyphs feature abrupt spur-like projections that intensify the silhouette. Overall rhythm is compact and jagged, with crisp, knife-edge serifs and a deliberate, carved geometry that keeps the alphabet visually cohesive.
Best suited to short display settings where its angular texture can be appreciated: posters, titles, branding wordmarks, packaging accents, and entertainment-oriented graphics. It can work for dramatic pull quotes or section headers, but is likely to feel busy in long passages or small UI text.
The tone is intense and theatrical, blending medieval/blackletter associations with a punchy, rebellious energy. Its spiky forms read as forceful and attention-seeking, giving text an amplified, poster-like urgency with a slightly mischievous edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, stylized blackletter flavor with exaggerated, blade-like terminals and a slanted stance, prioritizing personality and impact over quiet readability. Its consistent faceting and spurs suggest a deliberately “forged” or “carved” aesthetic for expressive display typography.
The italicized construction and sharp internal notches produce a strong forward motion, especially in continuous text. At smaller sizes the dense counters and frequent spikes can merge, while larger sizes emphasize the distinctive, cut-metal character of the outlines.
