A condensed blackletter-inspired display face with tall, narrow proportions and a strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes are mostly straight and angular, with sharp, wedge-like terminals and small notched details that create a jagged silhouette. Counters are tight and rectangular, and joins tend to form crisp inner corners rather than curves. The lowercase keeps a compact, upright structure with restrained ascenders/descenders, while the capitals appear rigid and monolithic; numerals follow the same narrow, chiseled logic for a consistent texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact text: posters, title cards, packaging accents, album or event graphics, and logo wordmarks that want a gothic-but-unconventional flavor. It can work for pull quotes or section headers when set large with generous tracking, but is less comfortable for long-form reading.
The overall tone feels gothic and theatrical, but with an offbeat, slightly mischievous twist thanks to its irregular nicks, pointed endings, and stiff, almost cut-metal construction. It reads as intentionally odd and attention-grabbing rather than historically faithful, giving headlines a dark, poster-like energy.
The design appears intended to remix blackletter conventions into a narrow, punchy display style with deliberately quirky cuts and exaggerated verticality, prioritizing distinctive texture and attitude over traditional readability.
In paragraph-like settings the dense verticals create a strong stripe pattern, so spacing and size will heavily influence legibility. Similar letterforms (such as I/l/1 and tightly constructed capitals) can visually converge, reinforcing its display-first character.
