A sharp, blackletter-inspired face with fractured strokes, pointed terminals, and strong thick–thin modulation that suggests a broad-nib or brush-driven construction. Uppercase forms are ornate and irregularly textured, with jagged interior notches and occasional hairline flicks that add a distressed, hand-drawn edge. Lowercase glyphs are more compact and rhythmic, with narrow counters and dense vertical emphasis; ascenders rise prominently above a relatively low x-height. Overall spacing reads tight and dark, creating a strong “color” on the line while maintaining clear letter differentiation through spurs and angled joins.
Works well for display typography such as posters, title cards, album/track artwork, fantasy or horror branding, and game or RPG UI elements where a historic or ominous mood is desired. It can also be effective for short pull quotes or headers, especially at larger sizes where the fractured details remain legible.
The font conveys a medieval, occult-tinged seriousness—authoritative and ceremonial, with a dramatic, slightly feral energy from its roughened stroke edges. Its historic voice feels suited to proclamations and lore, leaning more sinister and mystical than refined or bookish.
The design appears intended to blend traditional blackletter structure with a more hand-rendered, distressed surface, prioritizing atmosphere and character over neutrality. Its combination of dense vertical rhythm, ornate capitals, and scratchy stroke endings suggests a display-first font meant to evoke age, ritual, and drama.
Capitals are highly decorative and can dominate a line, while the lowercase maintains a more consistent cadence for longer setting. The distressed texture and sharp joints are visually prominent, so the face reads best when the design can accommodate a bold, dark presence rather than a clean, minimalist finish.
