A sharply angular, condensed display face built from straight, faceted strokes with pointed joins and minimal curvature. Vertical stems dominate, with wedge-like terminals and occasional notched cuts that create a chiseled, carved rhythm. Counters are tight and rectangular, and diagonals appear as crisp, planar facets rather than smooth curves. Lowercase forms largely follow simplified blackletter constructions with narrow apertures, while numerals are similarly tall and narrow with sharp corners for a consistent texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, album/track titles, game or film titles, and seasonal or horror-themed graphics. It also works well for logos and wordmarks that need a gothic, traditional punch, especially when set with generous tracking or at larger sizes.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking medieval signage and dark, theatrical titling. Its compressed proportions and blade-like terminals give it an intense, slightly sinister energy that reads as ritualistic and dramatic rather than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized blackletter look that stays rigid and graphic: tall, narrow proportions for presence, plus faceted strokes and pointed terminals for a cut-stone, dramatic silhouette.
The tight internal space and dense vertical patterning can make longer passages feel busy, but it produces a strong, uniform color in headlines. Distinctive pointed descenders and hooked joins add character in letters like j, y, and g, reinforcing the carved, architectural feel.
