A heavy, faceted display face built from broad strokes with sharply cut corners and occasional pointed terminals. The letterforms lean on blackletter construction—broken curves, wedge-like joins, and compact internal counters—while maintaining a fairly even stroke emphasis and a sturdy, upright posture. Uppercase forms are tall and blocky with strong verticals, and the lowercase continues the same carved rhythm with tight bowls and abrupt diagonals. Numerals match the angular, cut-paper silhouette, reading as bold, compact figures with minimal interior space.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, title cards, band or event marks, and thematic packaging where the angular blackletter flavor is part of the message. Use at larger sizes or with generous tracking and leading to preserve clarity in complex word shapes.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking illuminated manuscripts, heraldry, and tavern signage. Its weight and jagged cuts add a dramatic, slightly ominous character that suits fantasy, metal-adjacent, or historical storytelling aesthetics.
This design appears intended to deliver an immediately recognizable blackletter voice with a simplified, bold silhouette—prioritizing strong texture and rugged, carved forms over delicate ornament. The consistent weight and cut-in details aim for high visual impact in display typography.
At text sizes the dense color and tight counters can make long passages feel dark and busy, while larger settings highlight the distinctive notches and broken-curve structure. The mix of straight stems and clipped shoulders creates a rhythmic, stamped or chiseled impression across words.
