A condensed, heavy display face with blackletter-inspired construction rendered in simplified, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms are built from straight verticals and sharp, wedge-like terminals, with frequent notches and pointed joins that create a chiseled silhouette. Counters are small and rectangular, curves are minimized, and many glyphs show stylized interior cut-ins that add texture while keeping a consistent vertical rhythm. Spacing feels tight and the overall color is dense, producing a compact, poster-ready block of text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, logos, and title treatments where its dense texture can read as intentional character. It can work well for album artwork, game/film titles, and themed branding that benefits from a gothic or vintage display voice.
The font projects a gothic, dramatic tone with an ominous, old-world edge. Its sharp terminals and regimented verticality evoke signage, ritualistic or fantasy cues, and a theatrical sense of intensity rather than friendliness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, attention-grabbing blackletter mood with simplified geometry—capturing the feel of historical lettering while pushing it toward a sharper, more graphic display style.
In longer text, the repeated vertical strokes create a strong picket-fence rhythm; the distinctive wedges and notches carry most of the personality. The numerals and capitals match the same angular vocabulary, maintaining a unified, carved look across the set.
