A decorative blackletter-influenced display face built from heavy, angular stems that are repeatedly interrupted by sharp diagonal and curved cut-outs. The forms feel faceted and chiseled, with wedge-like terminals and occasional notched joins that create an internal “shadowed” rhythm across the counters and strokes. Curved letters (C, O, G, S, e, o) use sweeping bowls that are partially carved away, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N, M) emphasize rigid verticals and crisp corners. Overall spacing reads slightly irregular in a deliberate, handmade way, reinforcing the energetic, broken-stroke silhouette.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, title cards, packaging marks, band/album art, and event graphics where the carved shadow details can be appreciated. It can work for thematic headings in games or entertainment branding, but is less appropriate for long passages or small UI text due to its complex internal cut-outs.
The cut-out construction and blackletter flavor give the font a dark, theatrical tone—evoking vintage poster lettering, occult or fantasy themes, and a sense of menace or ritual. Its sharp geometry and internal shadowing make it feel loud and assertive, with a stylized, emblematic presence rather than a neutral reading voice.
The design appears intended to modernize blackletter-inspired display typography by adding sculpted, hollowed interruptions that create a built-in shadow/highlight effect. It prioritizes character and atmosphere over neutrality, aiming for a distinctive, instantly recognizable headline voice.
The strongest visual signature is the repeated internal carving that creates directional highlights and shadow-like gaps; this effect stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. At smaller sizes those cuts are likely to visually merge, so the face reads best when given enough size and contrast to preserve the interior detailing.
