A condensed, blackletter-inspired display face with heavy vertical stems and sharply notched terminals. Strokes maintain a largely even thickness while corners break into pointed spur-like projections, giving each glyph a serrated silhouette. Counters are small and rectilinear, and the overall rhythm is strongly vertical, with occasional asymmetries and cut-ins that add a slightly irregular, carved look. Numerals and lowercase follow the same faceted construction, producing dense texture in words and a tight, emphatic color on the line.
Best suited for display uses where atmosphere and impact are primary: headlines, poster titles, album or band merch graphics, packaging accents, and logo wordmarks that want a gothic or heraldic flavor. It works well in short phrases, titling, and large sizes where the notches and spurs can be appreciated.
The font conveys a gothic, medieval mood—stern, ceremonial, and a bit menacing. Its spurs and fractured edges create a theatrical, high-impact tone that reads as historic and ornamental rather than neutral or contemporary.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter forms in a bold, highly notched, decorative way, prioritizing dramatic silhouette and dense texture. Its consistent faceting and spiky terminals suggest a deliberate effort to evoke engraved or cut-metal letterforms for attention-grabbing display typography.
In paragraph-like settings the texture becomes very compact, with distinctive word shapes formed by repeated verticals and sharp joins. The design favors striking silhouettes over ease of continuous reading, especially where multiple letters with similar vertical structures appear close together.
