A decorative blackletter-inspired design with compact proportions and strong vertical emphasis. Stems are blocky and straight, while terminals resolve into sharp, triangular spur-like points that create a jagged silhouette. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular, with occasional internal cut-ins that mimic notches in carved or stamped lettering. The stroke structure stays consistent across the set, with a rigid, engineered rhythm and few curves, giving the alphabet a crisp, faceted feel.
Works best in short, high-impact settings such as logotypes, headlines, posters, and title cards where its sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also suits branding for music, gaming, or themed products that benefit from a gothic, high-drama voice. For longer text, it is likely most effective in brief bursts or large sizes to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is intense and theatrical, evoking medieval signage and hard-edged music and game aesthetics. Its aggressive points and dense texture read as rebellious and ominous rather than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional blackletter with a more rigid, cut-metal geometry—prioritizing dramatic silhouette, tight texture, and pointed terminals for maximum visual bite in display typography.
Lowercase forms closely echo their uppercase counterparts, reinforcing a uniform, display-first texture. Numerals share the same chiseled geometry and pointed terminals, keeping the set visually cohesive in headlines and short strings.
