A decorative blackletter-inspired display face with tightly condensed proportions and a strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes are heavy and relatively even, with sharp, spear-like terminals and angular notches that create a jagged silhouette along stems and curves. Counters are narrow and tall, and many forms rely on broken, faceted joins rather than smooth curves, giving the glyphs a crisp, carved look. The lowercase shows compact, upright structures with abrupt shoulders and pointed feet, while capitals are narrow and tower-like, keeping the overall texture dense and dark on the page.
Best suited for short display settings where impact matters: posters, album/track artwork, brand marks, event titles, packaging accents, and apparel graphics. It also works well for thematic UI moments (game titles, chapter heads) where a gothic or archaic atmosphere is desired, but is less comfortable for long passages due to its dense texture.
The font conveys a classic gothic/old-world tone—dramatic, ceremonial, and slightly menacing. Its sharp details and dense color read as theatrical and rebellious, evoking metal, tattoo, or headline typography rather than everyday text.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional blackletter into a compact, high-impact display style, prioritizing a dark typographic color and aggressive pointed detailing. It aims for immediate recognizability and atmosphere over neutrality, making it a strong choice for themed, attention-grabbing typography.
At text sizes the interior detail and tight spacing can visually fill in, so it benefits from generous tracking and ample line spacing. The numerals and capitals match the same pointed, chiseled language, keeping a consistent, hard-edged texture across mixed-case settings.
