A sharply carved blackletter with tall, condensed proportions and pronounced contrast between thick vertical stems and fine connecting strokes. Letterforms are built from broken, faceted segments with pointed terminals, wedge-like serifs, and occasional knife-edge notches that create a crisp, chiseled rhythm. Curves are largely implied through angular joins, giving counters a narrow, slit-like feel, while capitals carry extra flourish and asymmetry that reads as hand-cut rather than mechanical.
Best suited for short, prominent settings where texture and attitude are the goal—logos, mastheads, poster titles, album/merch graphics, and event branding. It performs especially well at display sizes where the sharp internal detailing and angular breaks remain clear.
The overall tone is ceremonial and intense, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and heavy-metal-era gothic lettering. Its spiky texture and dark vertical cadence feel formal and commanding, with a slightly ominous, theatrical edge.
Designed to deliver a historically inflected blackletter voice with aggressive, finely pointed detailing, prioritizing texture and presence over neutrality. The construction suggests a calligraphic or carved aesthetic meant to read as traditional, imposing, and stylistically specific.
In text, the dense vertical patterning produces a strong color and a distinctive “woven” texture, with word shapes dominated by uprights and tight interior spaces. The numerals and lowercase follow the same fractured construction, maintaining consistency across the set while keeping an expressive, hand-drawn bite.
