A decorative, blackletter-leaning display face with condensed proportions, sharp corners, and frequent pointed terminals. Strokes stay largely monolinear, but end in tapered, blade-like flares that create a prickly silhouette. Curves are built from faceted, chamfered forms rather than smooth rounds, giving bowls and counters an octagonal feel (notably in O, Q, and numerals). The lowercase mixes compact, upright forms with occasional deep, dagger-like descenders and narrow apertures, producing a lively, slightly irregular rhythm across words.
Best suited to short bursts of text where texture and atmosphere matter: posters, title treatments, chapter heads, packaging accents, game or tabletop fantasy UI, and music or event branding. It reads most confidently at medium-to-large sizes, where the pointed terminals and faceted corners can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is gothic and playful at once—evoking fantasy signage, occult pulp, and tongue-in-cheek horror aesthetics. Its sharp serifs and pointed joins add menace and drama, while the stylized quirks keep it from feeling strictly traditional or formal.
Likely designed to deliver a stylized gothic/blackletter impression with a contemporary, cartoonish edge—prioritizing silhouette, attitude, and decorative texture over neutral body-text readability.
Caps present a strong, emblematic presence with vertical stress and clipped corners, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic details (such as narrow, spurred terminals and distinctive descenders). Numerals follow the same chamfered, angular construction, matching the texture of the letters and maintaining a consistent “cut metal” feel in headlines.
