A condensed blackletter display face with sharp, broken strokes and jagged terminals that read like thorns or torn metal. Vertical stems dominate, with angular joins, deep notches, and occasional inner cuts that create a distressed, splintered texture. Bowls and diagonals are compressed and faceted, while capitals feature pronounced crowns and pointed serifs that amplify the aggressive silhouette. Overall spacing is tight and the rhythm is strongly vertical, producing a dense, dramatic color in lines of text.
Best suited for display settings such as horror posters, metal or darkwave album artwork, game or film titles, haunted-event promotions, and brand marks that need an aggressive gothic edge. It works especially well at larger sizes where the fractured details and pointed terminals can be appreciated.
The font conveys a sinister, ritualistic tone—part medieval manuscript, part horror title card. Its spurs, spikes, and fractured contours give it an ominous, confrontational voice suited to dark fantasy and gothic narratives.
The design appears intended to merge traditional blackletter structure with intentionally damaged, spiky detailing to produce an immediately threatening, horror-forward presence while retaining recognizable letterforms.
In longer text, the repeated verticals and sharp counters create a shimmering, serrated texture that favors short phrases over continuous reading. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same angular, carved quality, helping headings and mixed-character lockups feel consistent.
