An angular display face with a blackletter-inspired skeleton and sharply faceted terminals. Strokes are built from straight segments with frequent chamfered corners and small wedge-like cuts that create a carved, beveled effect. Counters are tight and often polygonal, and joins emphasize abrupt direction changes rather than smooth curves. Uppercase forms are tall and rigid, while lowercase keeps a similar sharp construction, producing a consistent, spiky texture across lines. Numerals follow the same hard-edged logic, reading as cut-metal forms with clipped corners.
Well suited to short, high-impact typography such as posters, event titles, game or film title cards, and branding marks that want a gothic or fantasy edge. It can work for pull quotes or headings in themed editorial layouts, while extended body text will be most legible at larger display sizes.
The overall tone is dark and theatrical, evoking medieval signage, fantasy ephemera, and occult or heavy-music aesthetics. Its crisp, blade-like details give it an assertive, slightly ominous voice that feels ceremonial and stylized rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to modernize blackletter cues through geometric, beveled construction, prioritizing a dramatic silhouette and decorative sharpness over quiet readability. It aims for a distinctive, emblematic look that immediately signals genre and mood.
In paragraph settings the dense, broken-stroke rhythm and narrow internal spaces create strong patterning; it performs best when allowed breathing room via larger sizes or increased tracking. The distinctive angular details are the main identifier, so small sizes may reduce clarity in similarly shaped letters.
