This typeface uses broken, calligraphic construction with sharply pointed terminals and narrow, tapering strokes that flare into crisp wedges. Forms show a lively, hand-drawn rhythm: strokes are slightly irregular, counters are tight, and many joins appear faceted rather than smoothly curved. Capitals are tall and commanding with pronounced internal angles and occasional spur-like serifs, while lowercase letters keep a compact, vertical texture with distinctive notches and hooks. Numerals follow the same cut-pen logic, mixing slender stems with abrupt, blade-like turns.
Best suited to display applications where its intricate, broken-stroke details can be appreciated—headlines, posters, album or book covers, and branding for gothic or historical themes. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when a dense, textured color is desired, but the tight counters and ornate joins make it less ideal for small-size body text.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, with a dramatic, gothic texture that feels solemn and authoritative. Its sharp edges and fractured curves add an ominous, storybook darkness that reads as historic and ritualistic rather than modern or casual.
The design appears intended to evoke blackletter calligraphy through a hand-drawn, cut-pen aesthetic: sharp wedges, fractured curves, and a strongly textured vertical rhythm. It prioritizes atmosphere and period character over neutral readability, aiming for dramatic presence in titles and thematic typography.
In text settings the face creates a strong vertical weave, with frequent dark accents from angled strokes and tight apertures. The hand-rendered outlines and uneven stroke tapering contribute to an intentionally raw, inked character that becomes more expressive at larger sizes.
