This typeface uses tall, compressed letterforms with sharp, chiseled terminals and a calligraphic, pen-drawn construction. Strokes show a clear thick–thin modulation, with pointed joins and occasional hooked or wedge-like serifs that create a fractured, faceted texture. Curves are tightened into narrow ovals and arcs, while verticals dominate, producing a rhythmic, columnar feel across words. Overall spacing looks compact, with an uneven, hand-inked finish that keeps the forms lively rather than mechanically uniform.
Best used for short display settings such as titles, headings, posters, and cover typography where its angular personality can read clearly. It also fits thematic branding for fantasy, horror, historical, or occult-adjacent projects, and can add mood to packaging or event materials when set with ample size and breathing room.
The tone is dark and theatrical, evoking gothic and medieval lettering with a slightly rough, hand-rendered edge. It feels suited to ominous, fantastical, or historical themes—more expressive than polite—while remaining legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a hand-drawn blackletter-inspired look that feels dramatic and era-evocative, prioritizing character and atmosphere in display typography while maintaining recognizable letterforms for readable headline use.
Several characters feature distinctive spur-like protrusions and tapered entry/exit strokes that mimic a broad-nib or carved-pen gesture. The texture in text blocks is strongly vertical and high-impact, with pronounced silhouettes that emphasize atmosphere over neutrality.
