A heavy, display-oriented blackletter with pronounced triangular notches, flared terminals, and split/branched strokes that give many letters a Tuscan-like, forked silhouette. Forms are compact and chunky with small interior counters and strong, sculpted edges; curves are sparse and often resolved into angular cuts. Uppercase and lowercase share the same carved, decorative vocabulary, with distinctive split tops and wedge-like joins that create a rhythmic, emblematic texture across words. Numerals follow the same blocky, notched construction, reading bold and ornamental rather than utilitarian.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, title treatments, event flyers, album/merch graphics, and packaging where a bold, characterful voice is needed. It can also work for fantasy or medieval-themed game titles and chapter headings, but is less appropriate for small-size UI text or extended reading.
The overall tone is medieval-meets-carnival: dramatic and old-world at a glance, but with an intentionally quirky, slightly comic twist. The repeated notches and split terminals make the texture feel animated and theatrical, suggesting signage, posters, and stylized fantasy or gothic themes without becoming strictly traditional.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter through a bold, decorative lens—amplifying carved angles, split strokes, and flared terminals to create an attention-grabbing display texture. Its consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals suggests a cohesive set built for strong branding moments rather than neutral text setting.
The dense strokes and narrow apertures make it most effective at larger sizes, where the notches and split details remain crisp. Word shapes are strongly characterized and can become visually busy in longer passages, especially where adjacent verticals cluster.
