A very heavy, right-slanted display face with a calligraphic, blackletter-leaning skeleton. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation and wedge-like terminals, with sharp joins and chamfered corners that give many letters a faceted, cut-from-ink look. Counters are relatively tight, the baseline feel is lively, and the rhythm alternates between broad vertical masses and narrow internal notches, creating a dense, energetic texture in text. Caps are tall and blocky, while lowercase forms are compact with a noticeably small x-height and strong entry/exit strokes that reinforce the italic flow.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, poster titles, cover typography, and logo or wordmark work where its dense texture and dramatic stroke modulation can be appreciated. It also fits themed applications—gothic, vintage, or theatrical branding—where a bold, stylized voice is desired.
The overall tone is darkly theatrical and old-world, evoking gothic signage, pulp-era titles, and dramatic poster lettering. Its bold presence and angled movement feel assertive and slightly menacing, with a handcrafted flair that reads as expressive rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, slanted blackletter-inspired display look with a handcrafted edge—combining sharp, medieval-like structure with punchy, poster-ready weight for attention-grabbing typography.
Numerals and capitals carry a sturdy, carved quality with exaggerated weight concentrated in verticals, while diagonals and joins sharpen into pointed spurs. The sample text shows a packed color and strong word shapes, with distinctive letterforms that prioritize character over long-form readability.
