A decorative blackletter-style display face with compact proportions, dense vertical rhythm, and sharply angled terminals. Strokes are thick with moderate contrast and frequent breaks, notches, and wedge-like cuts that create a chipped, irregular texture. Capitals are tall and commanding with hooked entry strokes and pointed serifs, while the lowercase maintains a tight, upright structure with narrow counters and occasional exaggerated joints. Numerals follow the same fractured, angular construction for a consistent overall color.
Well-suited for display applications such as headlines, posters, band or event titling, and branding where a gothic-but-playful voice is desired. It can also work for fantasy or horror-adjacent packaging, title screens, and game UI labels when set with enough spacing. Avoid extended body copy; use it to punctuate and set atmosphere.
The font conveys a gothic, medieval mood with a playful, slightly unruly edge. Its jagged cuts and uneven details add a mischievous, dramatic tone—more theatrical and “wacky” than formal or historical reproduction. The overall feel is dark-fantasy and tongue-in-cheek rather than solemn.
The design appears intended to evoke blackletter tradition while intentionally roughening the forms with cuts, hooks, and irregular joins to create a more characterful, novelty-driven texture. The aim is impact and personality over strict calligraphic fidelity, producing a bold display voice that feels medieval and mischievous at the same time.
At text sizes the dense blackletter forms create strong texture and word shapes, but the irregular cuts and tight counters can reduce clarity in long passages. It benefits from generous tracking and ample line spacing, and reads best when used as a headline or short phrase where the distinctive silhouettes can shine.
