A compact, blackletter-inspired display face with fractured strokes and angular terminals. The letterforms lean slightly and maintain a tight, vertical rhythm, with narrow counters and pointed joins that create a spiky silhouette. Stems are fairly uniform in thickness, while small wedge-like feet and notched corners add texture throughout. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent condensed structure, and the numerals echo the same broken, faceted construction for a cohesive overall color.
Best suited to headlines, posters, wordmarks, and short bursts of text where its jagged blackletter flavor can read as a deliberate style choice. It fits well in branding for dark-themed products, album artwork, event flyers, and game or film title treatments where a gothic, eccentric voice is desired.
The tone feels gothic and theatrical, with an intentionally offbeat, slightly unruly energy. Its sharp edges and chopped contours suggest medieval signage and dark-fantasy aesthetics, while the narrow proportions heighten a tense, dramatic mood.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter forms in a more eccentric, decorative way, emphasizing sharp notches, compressed structure, and a lively, irregular texture. It prioritizes character and atmosphere over neutrality, aiming for high visual impact in display settings.
The distinctive notches and angled cuts give the text a lively, vibrating surface at larger sizes, but the dense interior spaces can fill in visually when set too small or too tightly. Letterforms rely on strong verticals and pointed terminals, producing a pronounced texture in headlines and short lines.
