This font has a hand-drawn, calligraphic construction with narrow proportions, irregular stroke endings, and sharp wedge-like terminals. Strokes show a carved-pen feel with subtle thick–thin shifts and frequent tapering, creating pointed joins and faceted curves rather than smooth geometry. Letterforms are compact and vertically driven, with lively width variation across characters and small lowercase bodies that sit under tall ascenders and pronounced capitals. The overall texture is dark and assertive, with consistent angularity and crisp, inked silhouettes.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, titles, book covers, and branding marks where a gothic or medieval flavor is desired. It can also work for themed packaging or event graphics, especially at larger sizes where the sharp terminals and internal facets remain clear.
The tone is gothic and theatrical, evoking medieval signage and spooky, occult-leaning display lettering. Its sharp edges and inky massing give it a dramatic, slightly menacing energy, while the hand-rendered irregularities keep it expressive and human rather than rigidly formal.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, inked calligraphy with a blackletter-inspired edge—prioritizing atmosphere, punch, and distinctive silhouettes over neutrality. Its narrow, spiky forms aim to deliver immediate genre cues and a strong presence in short text.
Capitals read especially emblematic, with strong vertical strokes and distinctive cut-in notches that create a chiseled look. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with tapered strokes and pointed turns, helping mixed text maintain a cohesive, stylized rhythm.
