A stylized sans with blackletter-inspired construction: heavy vertical stems, clipped diagonals, and sharp wedge terminals that create an engraved, cut-from-metal look. Curves are frequently squared-off into shallow arcs, with inner counters tending toward rectangular or teardrop shapes. The lowercase maintains a compact core with tall ascenders and pointed details, while many capitals emphasize rigid, pillar-like structure and tight apertures. Overall spacing reads controlled and display-oriented, with distinctive, sometimes idiosyncratic letterforms that prioritize motif over conventional grotesk uniformity.
Best suited to display sizes where the sharp terminals and squared counters can be appreciated—titles, posters, packaging accents, and branding marks. It works particularly well for fantasy or horror-themed projects, game/UI titling, event promotions, and album/merch graphics. For longer text, generous size and spacing help maintain clarity as the distinctive forms accumulate.
The font projects a dark, theatrical tone with clear medieval and occult associations. Its spiky terminals and carved geometry feel ceremonial and arcane, suggesting fantasy titles, heavy music aesthetics, and gothic storytelling. The rhythm is assertive and emblematic, trading everyday neutrality for a mood-driven presence.
The design appears intended to merge a clean sans skeleton with blackletter cues—using angular cuts, spurs, and vertical emphasis to evoke a carved, gothic atmosphere without fully adopting traditional fraktur calligraphy. The result is a niche display face built for mood, identity, and thematic signaling.
Several glyphs lean into decorative construction (notably in letters with bowls and diagonals), giving the set a custom, logo-like personality. Numerals follow the same cut and wedge language, helping headlines and short strings stay stylistically consistent.
