A compact, heavy blackletter-inspired display face built from straight, faceted strokes and sharp terminals. Counters are small and geometric, with frequent notches and wedge-like cuts that create a carved, metal type feel. Vertical strokes dominate, curves are reduced to angled segments, and joins form crisp corners; rhythm is tight with minimal interior whitespace, producing dense word shapes. Uppercase and lowercase share the same angular construction, with a distinctive pointed, multi-stem treatment in letters like M/W and a consistently fractured, beveled edge language throughout.
Best used at large sizes for headlines, poster typography, titles, and logo marks where its angular details and dense texture can be appreciated. It suits entertainment contexts such as metal and horror aesthetics, fantasy or medieval-themed games, and packaging or signage that benefits from a bold, carved look.
The overall tone is gothic and theatrical, evoking medieval signage, dark fantasy, and aggressive branding. Its sharp silhouettes and compressed texture feel forceful and slightly sinister, leaning more toward spectacle than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a dramatic blackletter flavor with simplified, geometric construction—prioritizing strong silhouettes, tight texture, and a striking, ornamental voice for display applications.
In continuous text the texture becomes highly patterned, with repeated verticals and small apertures creating a strong, blocky color. The numerals follow the same faceted construction and read as emblematic forms rather than utilitarian figures.
