A condensed, vertical display face with blackletter-inspired structure translated into simplified, high-contrast-looking blocks. Stems are tall and straight with clipped, faceted terminals and small spurs that create a chiseled, mechanical rhythm. Counters are narrow and slot-like, and curves are handled with angular breaks rather than smooth transitions, giving the forms a rigid, cut-from-metal feel. The uppercase reads as architectural and monolinear-in-spirit, while the lowercase keeps the same narrow skeleton with compact bowls and tight apertures, maintaining a consistent, stacked silhouette across words.
Best suited to large sizes where its faceted terminals and narrow counters can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event flyers, album/track artwork, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short packaging callouts or labels that benefit from a gothic, theatrical tone, but is likely to feel dense for long passages of small text.
The overall tone is dramatic and slightly ominous, evoking vintage circus bills, gothic signage, and pulp-era headline styling. Its stylization feels intentionally eccentric—formal in posture but quirky in detailing—making it attention-grabbing and characterful rather than neutral.
The design appears aimed at delivering a one-of-a-kind, blackletter-tinged display voice: tall, compressed, and intentionally stylized to create a strong vertical rhythm and dramatic texture. Its angular cuts and spurred terminals suggest a deliberate move toward a carved, emblematic look that stands out in titling and branding contexts.
In the sample text, the dense verticals create strong texture and a dark typographic color, with word shapes staying highly uniform due to the narrow counters and repeated straight stems. Numerals follow the same tall, compressed construction with angular cuts, matching the display intent and reinforcing the font’s poster-oriented personality.
