A compact, heavy blackletter with tall proportions and tightly packed counters. Strokes read as faceted slabs rather than smooth curves, with sharp corners, beveled terminals, and frequent triangular notches that create a cut-paper/chiseled rhythm. The silhouettes are irregular in a controlled way, producing a slightly hand-drawn wobble and non-uniform widths across letters while keeping a consistent vertical stress. Apertures are small and the interior whitespace is restrained, so the forms stay dark and blocky even in mixed case and numerals.
Best suited for display settings where impact and texture matter: posters, titles, packaging accents, band/album artwork, event graphics, and logo wordmarks. It holds up well at large sizes where the bevels and notches can be appreciated; for longer passages, generous sizing and spacing will help maintain readability.
The overall tone is gothic and forceful, evoking medieval signage and hard-edged, underground poster aesthetics. Its sharp notches and dense color give it a confrontational, high-energy voice that feels ceremonial, ominous, and emphatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized blackletter voice—dense and commanding, with deliberately jagged, hand-cut contours—aimed at bold branding and statement typography rather than neutral text setting.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent broken-stroke language, with simplified blackletter construction that prioritizes bold silhouettes over ornate internal detailing. The numerals follow the same angular, cut-in modeling, helping headings and short statements keep a unified texture.
