A sharply angular display face with a blackletter-inspired skeleton, built from straight vertical stems and abrupt diagonal cuts. Terminals are consistently beveled and wedge-like, giving many strokes a chiseled, faceted finish rather than rounded endings. Counters are narrow and rectangular, and several forms rely on broken joins and internal notches that create a rhythmic, staccato texture in text. Uppercase and lowercase share the same narrow, vertical emphasis, while numerals follow the same rigid, blade-cut construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its sharp texture can be appreciated—such as posters, title cards, album art, game branding, or event promos. It also works well for logos and wordmarks that want a gothic edge without relying on ornate swashes or heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone is dark and theatrical, combining old-world fraktur cues with a more graphic, poster-like severity. Its knife-edge terminals and compressed rhythm lend an ominous, intense voice that reads as ceremonial, underground, and slightly mischievous.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, high-impact blackletter flavor in a simplified, geometric way, prioritizing striking silhouettes and aggressive terminals over traditional calligraphic detail. The consistent beveled cuts and tight vertical rhythm suggest an intention to feel both historical and stylized for modern display use.
In continuous text the repeated verticals create a strong barcode-like cadence, so word shapes can feel spiky and uniform. The distinctive cuts help character separation at larger sizes, while smaller settings may intensify the texture and reduce quick scanning.
