A heavy blackletter-leaning display face built from broad strokes that are repeatedly carved with diagonal and curved cut-ins. The forms feel chiseled and segmented, as if pieces have been removed to create internal slits and notches; these voids read like a consistent shadowed layer across the alphabet. Curves (C, G, O, Q, e) are round but aggressively scooped, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, K, N) are stacked with stepped terminals and triangular bite-marks. Lowercase keeps a compact, sturdy silhouette with tall ascenders and simple bowls, and the numerals echo the same split-and-shear motif for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display settings where its carved, shadowed texture can read clearly—posters, title cards, packaging accents, and branding marks that want a gothic-industrial edge. It can work for short pulls or dramatic taglines, but performs most confidently at larger sizes and with generous tracking.
The overall tone is theatrical and slightly ominous, mixing medieval blackletter cues with a modern, cut-metal attitude. The repeated slices and shadow-like gaps add tension and motion, giving the text a poster-ready punch that feels intense rather than friendly.
The design appears intended to fuse blackletter structure with a contemporary, stencil-like carving system, creating a bold silhouette enlivened by shadowed cut-outs. The goal is impact and atmosphere—an ornamental display voice that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The internal cut-outs are frequent enough that small sizes may lose clarity, especially where narrow counters and diagonal wedges intersect. In longer lines, the strong rhythm of breaks and notches becomes a defining texture, making spacing and size choices important for legibility.
