A highly condensed, angular display face with a blackletter-inspired skeleton and sharp, chiseled terminals. Strokes are built from straight segments with frequent diagonal cuts, creating pointed joins and notched corners rather than smooth curves. The rhythm is vertical and segmented, with narrow counters, compact bowls, and a consistent, poster-like color that holds together across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Numerals and punctuation follow the same faceted construction, keeping the texture tight and assertive in lines of text.
Best suited for short-form display settings such as posters, album/track artwork, game or film titles, event branding, and bold logotypes. It can also work for packaging or labels when a gothic, heritage, or ominous mood is desired, especially in uppercase or carefully tracked headline text.
The overall tone is dark and theatrical, with a medieval/old-world flavor that reads as intense and ritualistic. Its narrow, blade-like forms add urgency and grit, giving headlines a heavy-metal, horror, or mystery-leaning atmosphere while still feeling crafted and intentional.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter and carved-letter aesthetics into a compact, high-impact display style, prioritizing a dramatic silhouette and strong vertical texture. Its faceted cuts and narrow proportions suggest an aim for loud, emblematic typography that stands out quickly in title and branding contexts.
Uppercase forms present strong vertical emphasis and stylized geometry, while the lowercase keeps distinctive blackletter cues (notably in the multi-stemmed forms and broken, angular bowls). The design’s tight apertures and sharp interior corners make it most comfortable at medium-to-large sizes where the cut details remain clear.
