A compact blackletter with heavy, monoline-like strokes and sharp, chiseled terminals. The letterforms are built from vertical stems and faceted curves, accented by frequent triangular spurs and notched joins that create a crisp, sawtooth rhythm. Counters are small and tightly contained, while capitals are tall and emphatic, giving the set a dense, poster-ready texture. Numerals and lowercase follow the same angular construction, maintaining strong visual consistency across the character set.
Best suited to display typography where the angular detailing can be appreciated—horror or gothic posters, album/merch lettering, game and film titling, themed packaging, and attention-grabbing headlines. It works particularly well when used in short phrases, logos, or large-scale treatments where texture and atmosphere are the goal.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking gothic signage, arcane manuscripts, and horror title cards. The sharp spurs and tight spacing read as aggressive and suspenseful rather than delicate or ornate, making the voice feel commanding and dark.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter presence with a sharper, more sinister edge, prioritizing impact and mood over neutral readability. Its consistent spurring and compact construction suggest use in branding and titling that needs an instantly gothic, eerie signal.
At text sizes the dense texture and similar internal shapes can reduce quick differentiation between certain blackletter forms, while at larger sizes the crisp spurs and faceted curves become a defining visual feature. The design relies on verticality and repeated stem patterns, producing a strong, unified rhythm across words.
