A condensed display face built from tall, rectilinear stems and sharp, chamfered terminals that create a carved, blade-like silhouette. The outlines stay largely monolinear, with small wedge notches, hooked corners, and occasional inward cuts that add irregular texture without becoming fully broken or distressed. Counters are narrow and vertical, spacing is tight, and the overall rhythm is rigid and columnar, giving words a compact, spired skyline. Figures and capitals echo the same angular construction, with distinctive, idiosyncratic details that read as intentionally decorative rather than purely structural.
Best suited to short display settings such as logos, posters, headlines, album/merch artwork, and game or film titles where its angular personality can be a feature. It will also work for themed packaging or event graphics that call for a gothic or occult mood, but it’s less appropriate for long passages of text.
The tone leans gothic and arcane, with a mischievous, slightly menacing flair. Its sharp edges and compressed verticality feel ceremonial and theatrical, suggesting horror, fantasy, or underground aesthetics more than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to evoke a stylized blackletter/inscriptional feel while remaining clean and graphic, using narrow proportions and sharp notches to produce a memorable, one-off voice. The consistent vertical construction suggests an aim for strong impact in compact titles, with deliberate quirks to keep the texture lively.
In the sample text, the dense letterforms and tight apertures create strong word-shapes but reduce comfort at smaller sizes; the style is most effective when given room and contrast against a clean background. Punctuation and dots appear minimal and crisp, matching the restrained, carved detailing of the letters.
