A sharp, blackletter-inspired display face built from tall vertical stems and angular joins, with frequent thorn-like terminals and notched corners. Strokes stay fairly consistent while internal counters are tight, creating dense, high-impact silhouettes. The forms mix rigid straight segments with occasional wedge and dagger-like serifs, giving capitals a statuesque presence and lowercase a compact, textured rhythm. Numerals follow the same cut, pointed construction and read as ornamental, with distinctive hooks and facets rather than smooth curves.
Best suited for headlines, title treatments, and short emphatic phrases where a gothic, unsettling tone is desired—such as horror and dark-fantasy packaging, album art, posters, game or stream branding, and merchandise. It can also work for logos and badges when set large enough to preserve the intricate counters and pointed details.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking gothic signage, occult ephemera, and medieval-styled titles. The spiked terminals and compressed interiors heighten tension and drama, pushing the voice toward horror and dark fantasy rather than neutral historical reproduction.
The design appears intended to deliver a dramatic blackletter look with exaggerated spikes and carved-in facets, prioritizing atmosphere and impact over long-form readability. Its consistent, ornamental construction suggests a display font made for themed storytelling and bold visual identity.
In continuous text the texture is highly patterned and busy, with sharp details that can visually merge at smaller sizes. It performs best when given room—larger sizes, generous tracking, and high contrast backgrounds—to let the barbed terminals and internal cutouts remain legible.
