A condensed, angular display face with blackletter-inspired construction and a blocky, chiseled silhouette. Strokes are predominantly straight and vertical, with sharp notches, wedge-like terminals, and occasional inward cuts that create a carved, faceted look. Counters tend to be tight and rectangular, and the overall rhythm is rigid and columnar, producing strong vertical texture in lines of text. Capitals and lowercase share a consistent narrow footprint, with distinctive, decorative joins and pointed corners that emphasize a mechanical, cut-metal feel.
Best suited to large sizes where the cut-in details and pointed terminals stay crisp—posters, event headlines, album/track artwork, game or fantasy titles, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging accents where a strong gothic texture is desirable, but will feel heavy and busy in long passages of body text.
The font projects a gothic, theatrical mood with an eccentric, slightly menacing edge. Its sharp cuts and compressed stance evoke vintage poster lettering, metal-band or fantasy titling, and an intentionally “odd” ornamental flavor rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an attention-grabbing, blackletter-adjacent display voice with a quirky, custom-carved character. It prioritizes dramatic silhouette and texture over conventional readability, aiming for immediate impact in bold, stylized titling.
Spacing appears compact, which intensifies the dark typographic color and makes word shapes feel dense and architectural. Numerals follow the same angular, carved logic, helping headings and short numeric callouts maintain a unified visual voice.
