A compact blackletter-inspired display face built from tall, narrow forms with sharp, faceted terminals and strongly squared curves. Strokes are heavy and relatively even, with crisp corners and wedge-like notches that create an engraved, chiseled silhouette. Many glyphs feature internal knockouts and irregular cut-ins that read as hollowed details, adding texture and a slightly distressed, ornamental rhythm. Lowercase retains the same rigid, vertical construction, with tight counters and pointed joins that keep the texture dense in words.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, album/merch graphics, event flyers, packaging accents, and bold brand marks where its carved texture can be appreciated. It works well for short headlines, titles, and initials, and is less ideal for long-form reading or small UI text due to its dense blackletter structure and interior cutouts.
The overall tone is dark and theatrical, evoking old-world signage and gothic lettering with an aggressive modern edge. The hollowed interruptions and knife-like angles push it toward heavy music, horror, and rebellious poster aesthetics while still feeling rooted in historical blackletter tradition.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional blackletter into a heavy, high-impact display style, using hollowed and notched details to add grit and visual character. Its narrow, vertical proportions and strong angularity suggest a focus on maximizing intensity and presence in limited space.
Spacing appears tight and the dense interior detail can cause forms to visually merge at smaller sizes, so the design reads best when given room and scale. Numerals and capitals are especially blocky and emblematic, making them effective for monograms, headers, and short bursts of text.
