A condensed blackletter-inspired display face with tall vertical proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are mostly straight and rigid, while terminals sharpen into spear-like points and small hooky spurs that create a jagged silhouette. Counters are tight and angular, with broken-looking joins and notched interior cuts that add texture. Spacing appears compact and rhythmically vertical, producing a dense, poster-ready word shape where the pointed serifs and tapers do much of the visual work.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror and Halloween promotions, dark fantasy or gothic branding, album/merch typography, and display headlines on posters or covers. It can also work for punchy pull quotes or packaging where a sinister, medieval-leaning voice is desired, especially at larger sizes where the inner cuts and spurs remain clear.
The letterforms project a dark, ritualistic tone—part medieval manuscript, part horror title card. The persistent spikes and blade-like terminals give it an ominous, theatrical presence, while the narrow build and high contrast amplify tension and urgency in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediately recognizable gothic/horror atmosphere through condensed blackletter structure, extreme tapering terminals, and spiky ornamentation. Its construction prioritizes dramatic texture and mood over neutral readability, making it a purpose-built display face for dark themed communication.
In longer lines, the repeated vertical strokes create a strong “picket fence” texture typical of blackletter, so character recognition relies on the distinctive notches, inner cuts, and aggressive terminals. The figures and punctuation follow the same sharpened, ornamental logic, helping the overall texture stay consistent across mixed content.
