A sharply angular blackletter with dense, dark forms and pronounced stroke modulation. The lettershapes are built from narrow verticals, faceted joins, and pointed terminals that create an overall spiky silhouette. Counters tend to be small and compressed, while occasional curved bowls and swashes add rhythmic contrast. Spacing feels tight and compact in text, and the design shows natural, calligraphic irregularities that keep repeated stems from looking purely mechanical.
Best suited to display settings where its dense texture and ornament can read as a stylistic signal—posters, album/merch graphics, game titles, packaging accents, and logo wordmarks. It performs especially well in short headlines or pulled quotes; for longer passages it benefits from generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The font projects a traditional Gothic tone—stern, ceremonial, and slightly ominous. Its heavy texture and dagger-like terminals evoke medieval manuscripts, church or heraldic lettering, and genre aesthetics associated with mystery and the occult.
The design appears intended to deliver an assertive, historically referential blackletter voice with strong visual impact. It prioritizes dramatic texture, sharp terminals, and ornate capitals to create an unmistakably Gothic presence in contemporary display typography.
Uppercase forms are highly decorative with strong internal structure and occasional flourish-like details, while the lowercase maintains a consistent vertical texture suitable for short lines. Numerals follow the same blackletter construction, mixing straight-sided forms with occasional curved strokes, preserving the dense color and angular rhythm.
