A condensed display face built from tall, faceted strokes that taper into sharp points and wedge-like terminals. Letterforms feel carved rather than drawn, with irregular, slightly leaning verticals and notch-like counters that create a fractured silhouette. Stems are heavy and compact, while joins and corners break into abrupt angles, producing a jagged rhythm across words. Numerals and capitals share the same narrow, monolithic proportions, giving lines a dense, poster-like texture.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as posters, title cards, band or album artwork, game and film titles, and event branding where dramatic texture is desired. It will work strongest at large sizes, where the angular cuts and pointed terminals remain legible and the dense color becomes a deliberate stylistic feature.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, with a stern, foreboding energy reminiscent of carved inscriptions and medieval signage. Its sharp edges and cramped density add theatrical tension, making it feel intense and slightly menacing rather than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to evoke a medieval blackletter tradition through compressed proportions and sharp, carved forms, while introducing irregular facets to heighten drama and create a distinctive, hand-cut display texture.
Spacing appears tight and visually interlocking, so the texture reads as a continuous black band at larger sizes. The uneven geometry and varied stroke flare give it a handmade, cut-paper or chiseled quality that emphasizes character over neutrality.
