A compact blackletter-inspired display face with tall, compressed proportions and strongly angular construction. Strokes appear largely uniform in thickness, with sharp chamfered corners, wedge-like terminals, and frequent interior notches that create a faceted, cut-metal rhythm. Curves are minimized in favor of straight segments and pointed joins, producing narrow counters and dense vertical texture. The lowercase echoes the same broken, verticalized structure, with simplified bowls and tight apertures that keep the silhouette crisp and blocky across words and lines.
Best suited to display settings where impact and atmosphere matter more than long-form readability: posters, album/merch graphics, game or event titles, labels, and logo wordmarks. It can work for short slogans and punchy headers, especially when set with extra letterspacing and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, with a stern, confrontational energy. Its blade-like corners and rigid vertical cadence evoke medieval signage, heavy music aesthetics, and occult or arcane branding, reading as theatrical rather than subtle.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-of-a-kind blackletter voice with a modern, geometric hardness—prioritizing strong silhouettes, dense texture, and dramatic presence in large-scale typography.
Spacing appears tight and the dark color builds quickly in text, so the face relies on large sizes and generous tracking for clarity. Distinctive, emblematic shapes in letters like M, W, and X reinforce a highly stylized, poster-forward personality.
