A jagged, hand-drawn blackletter-inspired design with uneven edges and frequent spur-like terminals that create a distressed silhouette. Strokes are mostly straight and angular with abrupt joins, squared counters, and occasional broken-looking corners that feel chipped or ink-worn. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with compact, blocky forms (notably in many lowercase letters) contrasted by sharper, more open diagonals in letters like K, V, W, and X. Overall spacing and widths feel irregular in an intentional way, contributing to an energetic, handmade rhythm.
Best suited to short headlines and display settings such as posters, album/track artwork, horror or dark-fantasy title treatments, and themed event flyers. It can also work for game UI labels or chapter headers where a gritty gothic atmosphere is desired, but the distressed detailing suggests avoiding very small sizes or long passages.
The font projects a dark, gothic tone with a rough, DIY menace—equal parts medieval sign lettering and horror zine typography. Its distressed edges and spurs evoke occult posters, dungeon-themed ephemera, and gritty underground flyers, giving text a dramatic, ominous presence even at moderate sizes.
The design appears intended to capture a hand-rendered gothic/blackletter feel while adding deliberate wear and irregularity for a raw, rebellious texture. Its variable letter widths and chipped edges prioritize mood and character over strict typographic refinement, aiming for strong visual flavor in titles and branding moments.
Many letters include small protrusions at stroke ends and corners, producing a thorny texture across words. The lowercase set reads more compressed and modular, while capitals carry more dramatic, display-like shapes, which increases contrast between title case and body text. Numerals and the ampersand follow the same distressed, angular construction, keeping the overall voice consistent.
