A sharp, angular blackletter with tall, condensed proportions and crisp, pointed terminals. Strokes read as largely monolinear with minimal contrast, forming narrow counters and a strongly vertical rhythm. Many joins resolve into hard corners and faceted curves, giving bowls and arches a carved, geometric feel. Capitals are slender and structured, while lowercase maintains a consistent, upright texture with tight interior spaces and a slightly segmented construction typical of blackletter forms.
Best suited to display settings where a gothic or medieval flavor is desired—posters, album/track artwork, game titles, book covers, packaging accents, and short logotypes. It can also work for chapter headings or pull quotes when ample size and spacing are available to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking medieval manuscripts, heraldic titling, and dark-fantasy atmospheres. Its spiky detailing and narrow spacing create a tense, dramatic voice that feels ritualistic and austere rather than friendly or casual.
The font appears designed to deliver an accessible blackletter look with clean, consistent stroke weight and a strongly condensed silhouette, prioritizing dramatic texture and historical associations for modern display typography.
The design emphasizes verticality and texture, producing a dense “black” pattern even at moderate sizes due to narrow counters and frequent angular turns. Numerals echo the same faceted construction, keeping the set visually unified for display use.
