A decorative blackletter-inspired serif with chunky, sculpted strokes and pronounced pointed terminals. The letterforms are built from rounded-rectilinear masses that pinch into sharp spurs, creating a sawtooth rhythm along baselines and caps. Counters are tight and irregularly faceted, with curved inner cuts that contrast against the angular outer silhouette. Serifs behave more like hooked spines and wedges than classical feet, giving the alphabet a carved, emblematic feel and a strong, dark texture in text.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, event promos, album artwork, game or film titles, and punchy wordmarks. It performs well where a dark, ornamental texture is desirable and where large sizes can preserve the intricate inner cuts and sharp terminals.
The font conveys a gothic, occult-leaning mood that feels theatrical and slightly mischievous. Its sharp nicks and flared points suggest medieval signage and horror or fantasy titling, while the exaggerated shapes keep it playful rather than strictly historical.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter/medieval cues through a heavier, more playful silhouette, prioritizing texture and attitude over strict calligraphic construction. Its exaggerated points and sculpted counters aim to create instant atmosphere for themed headlines and branding.
Uppercase forms read like ornate display caps with strong lateral presence, while the lowercase keeps the same spurred logic and compact counters, producing dense word shapes. Numerals follow the same faceted, cut-in style, maintaining the overall “carved” color. Spacing in the sample appears intentionally tight, emphasizing a continuous black texture suitable for short bursts rather than long reading.
