A decorative blackletter-inspired design with chunky stems and sharp, wedge-like terminals that flare into blade and horn shapes. The outlines are slightly irregular, with restless edges and occasional notches that create a carved, distressed rhythm rather than smooth calligraphy. Counters are compact and somewhat angular, while uppercase forms feel broad and emphatic, producing a dense, poster-ready silhouette. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same jagged terminal language, with a consistent dark color and a subtly uneven texture across lines of text.
Well-suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror and fantasy titles, film or event posters, packaging, and album covers. It can also work for game logos and chapter headings where a sinister, medieval mood is desired; for longer passages, larger sizes and generous tracking help preserve the internal shapes.
The letterforms project an ominous, arcane tone—more cursed manuscript than formal Old Style. Spikes, barbs, and abrupt cuts give the text a hostile energy, suggesting horror, dark fantasy, and occult storytelling without relying on literal drips or gimmicks.
The design appears intended to merge blackletter tradition with a more aggressive, theatrical edge—using broadened proportions, spiked terminals, and controlled irregularity to deliver immediate atmosphere and intimidation in display typography.
Stroke joins and terminals often sharpen into asymmetric points, creating a lively, slightly chaotic sparkle along baselines and cap heights. The texture reads best at larger sizes, where the serrated details and flaring ends remain distinct instead of collapsing into solid mass.
