A heavy, angular blackletter with faceted, chiseled contours and deliberately uneven edges that read as hand-cut or carved. Strokes form sharp points and abrupt corners, with compact counters and frequent internal notches that create a broken, textured silhouette. Letterforms keep a mostly vertical posture, but widths and detailing vary enough to produce a lively, irregular rhythm, especially noticeable in curved letters and numerals. Overall color on the line is dense and dark, with tight apertures and strong black mass.
Best suited for display work such as posters, titles, band or event branding, game or tabletop-fantasy graphics, and themed packaging where strong atmosphere matters more than neutral readability. It performs especially well in short words, monograms, and bold lockups at medium-to-large sizes.
The font conveys a medieval, ominous tone—part gothic manuscript, part rough-hewn carving. Its jagged terminals and fractured interiors add menace and drama, evoking fantasy, horror, and old-world folklore aesthetics rather than refined calligraphy.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive blackletter feel with a raw, handmade edge—retaining traditional gothic structure while amplifying roughness and angularity to heighten impact and mood.
In text, the heavy texture and intricate silhouettes can reduce clarity at small sizes, while larger settings emphasize its distinctive bite and torn-edge character. The numerals match the same spurred, angular construction, helping headings and date-centric designs keep a consistent voice.
