A condensed, slanted display face built from angular, faceted strokes with frequent nicks and cut-ins that create small interior openings and a lightly “broken” texture. Stems and bowls are simplified into straight or slightly bowed segments with pointed joins, producing a crisp, chiseled rhythm. Terminals often finish with small hooks or notches, and many letters show deliberate gaps or offset-like cuts that read as a subtle shadowy separation rather than smooth continuous outlines. Counters are tight and geometry is irregularly hand-drawn in feel, giving the alphabet a lively, uneven cadence while keeping consistent stroke thickness and overall proportions.
Best suited to short display settings where its cut, shadow-like detailing can be appreciated: posters, cover art, titles for games or fantasy media, event flyers, and expressive packaging. It can work for subheads or pull quotes at larger sizes, but the dense interiors and decorative breaks make it less ideal for long body copy.
The font projects a blackletter-adjacent, old-world attitude with a mischievous, handmade edge. Its jagged cuts and slanted posture feel energetic and a bit unruly—more playful gothic than formal manuscript—suggesting spooky, fantasy, or punk-leaning aesthetics.
The design appears intended to blend blackletter-inspired silhouettes with a modern, hand-cut, shadowed texture, prioritizing character and atmosphere over neutrality. Its angular construction and repeated cutouts suggest a deliberate effort to create a distinctive, crafted look that stands out in bold typographic statements.
Distinctive notch and split details show up across both uppercase and lowercase, helping letters stay recognizable even with condensed widths. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, with sharp corners and clipped curves that match the text color. The texture is strong enough to read as intentional decoration, so spacing and line setting benefit from a bit of breathing room.
