A condensed blackletter with heavy vertical emphasis, sharp spurs, and faceted terminals. Strokes are broken up by irregular internal knockouts that create a carved, hollowed look, producing a lively texture and strong figure–ground interplay. Curves are tight and angular, counters are small, and joins feel chiseled rather than smooth, giving the letterforms a rugged, hand-worked rhythm. Numerals follow the same compact, high-contrast construction and retain the same cutout detailing for consistency.
Best suited to display settings where its compact blackletter structure and carved interior details can be appreciated—such as posters, album covers, event promotions, brand marks, and themed packaging. It can also work for short editorial headings or pull quotes when you want a historic or occult atmosphere, but the dense texture is likely to be too busy for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is dark, ceremonial, and theatrical, blending medieval manuscript energy with a gritty, poster-like edge. The hollowed interior details add tension and shimmer at display sizes, making the font feel ominous and attention-grabbing rather than refined or quiet.
The design appears intended to modernize classic blackletter forms with a distinctive hollowed, cutaway treatment that increases impact and texture. It prioritizes atmosphere and visual presence, aiming for a bold, engraved feel that stands out in high-contrast, large-format typography.
The irregular cutouts introduce intentional texture variation from glyph to glyph, which can read as distressed or engraved depending on size and contrast. Dense counters and narrow proportions increase visual color, so spacing and line length will strongly affect readability in extended text.
