A blackletter-inspired display face with compact proportions, pointed terminals, and frequent wedge-like flares at stroke ends. Stems are generally straight and upright, with medium contrast created by thick main strokes paired with narrowed joins and tapered tips. Counters are relatively tight and irregularly shaped, and many glyphs show small spur-like protrusions that create a serrated silhouette. Lowercase forms keep a short x-height and dense rhythm, while capitals carry more ornate, weapon-like diagonals and sharp interior cuts.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as horror or dark-fantasy titles, game or film logos, poster headlines, and atmospheric packaging. It can work for themed pull quotes or chapter openers where a strong gothic texture is desirable, but its dense counters and spiky detailing make it less appropriate for extended body copy.
The overall tone is dark and ritualistic, evoking gothic signage, old-world proclamations, and horror-fantasy title cards. Its sharp spurs and tapered strokes give it a threatening, enchanted feel that reads as theatrical rather than refined. The texture becomes more intense in longer lines, producing an intentionally eerie, foreboding atmosphere.
The design appears intended to modernize a blackletter foundation with exaggerated spikes and tapered cuts, prioritizing a sinister silhouette and high theatrical presence. It aims to deliver immediate genre signaling—dark, medieval, and supernatural—while remaining legible enough for prominent display settings.
Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for display use, with a lively, uneven texture that emphasizes jagged contours over smooth continuity. Numerals and capitals retain the same spiked terminal language, helping headings and short callouts feel cohesive across letters and figures.
