A condensed display face built from straight, monoline strokes with sharp, faceted terminals and frequent wedge-like notches. The forms are highly vertical and compact, with narrow counters and a strong rhythm of parallel stems. Corners resolve into pointed feet and arrowed joins, giving many letters a chiseled, cut-paper silhouette. Uppercase and lowercase share a similarly tall, rigid construction, with simplified curves rendered as angled segments for a consistent, geometric texture.
Best used for short display settings where its angular detailing and condensed proportions can carry impact—posters, headlines, title cards, and logo wordmarks. It also fits themed applications like music artwork, games, or event promotion where a dark or gothic-leaning voice is desired, rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is intense and theatrical, combining a medieval/blackletter flavor with a crisp, stylized sharpness. Its spiky terminals and tightly packed verticals read as ominous and attention-grabbing, lending a dark, dramatic character that feels suited to genre-forward branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-of-a-kind, stylized blackletter-inspired look using simplified, monoline geometry and exaggerated pointed terminals. Its condensed build and strong vertical rhythm prioritize visual punch and a distinctive texture over neutrality or extended text comfort.
Digits and punctuation follow the same narrow, blade-like construction, maintaining a uniform vertical color in text. At smaller sizes the tight apertures and aggressive detailing can merge visually, while larger sizes emphasize the distinctive cut-in shapes and pointed endings.
