A slanted, heavy display face with sharp, faceted construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes terminate in wedge-like cuts and pointed corners, giving the outlines a chiseled, broken-pen feel rather than smooth curves. Counters are compact and often partially enclosed, and joins create strong zig-zag rhythms typical of blackletter influence. Uppercase forms are tall and assertive, while the lowercase stays sturdy and compact with a clear, readable body size; numerals follow the same angular, cut-stroke logic for a cohesive set.
Best used for high-impact headlines, logotypes, and short statements where its angular texture can be appreciated. It fits posters, album/merch artwork, packaging, and branding for themes like tradition, fantasy, or underground culture; for longer passages, larger sizes and added letterspacing will help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, with a bold, poster-like intensity that reads as traditional yet aggressive. It suggests heritage, craft, and a touch of danger—well suited to moods ranging from medieval romance to modern metal-inspired grit.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter calligraphy into a bold, modern display voice, keeping the broken-stroke angularity while adding a consistent italic drive for energy and emphasis.
The italic slant and aggressive terminal cuts produce strong forward motion and dense word shapes, especially in longer lines. Because interior space is tight and details are sharp, it benefits from generous tracking and ample size in use.
