A sharply angular decorative face built from straight strokes and faceted corners, with frequent chamfered terminals that read like cut metal or carved stone. Stems are mostly monolinear with selective thickening at joins, creating a crisp, slightly mechanical rhythm. Many forms use squared bowls and pointed notches, producing tight interior counters and distinctive silhouettes; diagonals and cross-strokes are steep and assertive. The overall texture is dark and jagged, with a controlled but intentionally idiosyncratic construction that varies in width across glyphs while maintaining consistent cap height and baseline alignment.
This font works best for short, high-impact text such as posters, title cards, branding marks, and packaging where a sharp gothic mood is desired. It also suits game UI headings, fantasy or horror themes, and album/merch graphics that benefit from an aggressive, carved aesthetic. For body copy, it’s more effective as an accent or display layer rather than extended reading.
The tone is dramatic and confrontational, evoking gothic and occult cues without fully committing to traditional blackletter rules. Its sharp facets and knife-like terminals suggest danger, fantasy, and ritual, giving headlines a theatrical, game-like energy. The font feels intentionally “crafted” and eccentric—more emblematic and stylized than neutral.
The design appears intended to reinterpret gothic/blackletter energy through a modern, faceted geometry, prioritizing distinctive silhouettes and a carved, blade-edged finish. Its irregularities and variable shapes seem purposeful, aiming for a one-off personality that stands out in titles and marks rather than behaving like a conventional text face.
Uppercase characters read as strong, sign-like shapes, while the lowercase introduces more quirky structure and narrow, vertical proportions in letters like i, j, and r. Numerals and capitals share the same chiseled logic, helping mixed-case and alphanumeric settings feel cohesive. In longer lines, the dense angularity can reduce readability, so spacing and size become important for comfortable use.
