A condensed, blackletter-influenced display face built from tall vertical stems and sharp, faceted terminals. Strokes show subtle contrast and a carved, beveled feeling, with frequent wedge-like spurs and pointed feet that create a rhythmic, mechanical cadence. Counters are tight and rectangular, and many joins are abrupt rather than flowing, reinforcing a rigid, architectural silhouette. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent narrow footprint, while figures follow the same pointed, monolinear-to-slight-contrast construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, packaging accents, and entertainment branding where a gothic-but-quirky voice is desired. It can work for wordmarks and chapter heads, especially when set large with added tracking; extended passages will feel heavy and visually busy.
The overall tone is darkly theatrical and slightly off-kilter—part medieval poster, part tongue-in-cheek horror. Its narrow, blade-like shapes feel intense and ceremonial, but the exaggerated points and compact spacing lend a playful, wacky edge rather than a strictly traditional gothic mood.
The design appears intended to remix blackletter aesthetics into a compact, decorative display voice—emphasizing verticality, pointed spurs, and a chiseled texture for dramatic impact while staying stylized and unconventional.
In text, the dense vertical texture and frequent sharp terminals create strong patterning; letterforms can appear similar at smaller sizes due to the compressed width and minimal counter space. It reads best when given extra tracking and generous line spacing to let the angular details breathe.
