A highly angular, blackletter-inspired display face built from straight, faceted strokes with pointed terminals and sharp interior corners. Letters are compact and vertically driven, with narrow counters and frequent wedge-like notches that create a jagged rhythm across words. Stems read as sturdy and even in weight, while diagonals and joins break into hard angles rather than curves, giving the alphabet a carved, blade-edged appearance. Capitals and lowercase share a consistent vertical architecture, and the numerals follow the same chiseled, pointed construction for a unified set.
Best used at display sizes where the faceted details and pointed terminals can read clearly—posters, titles, cover art, logos, and short punchy phrases. It works well when you want a strong stylistic signal and a dense, dramatic texture, but it is less suitable for long-form text or small UI sizes.
The overall tone is dark and dramatic, leaning into a medieval and occult-leaning atmosphere. Its sharp silhouettes and prickly texture feel aggressive and performative, suited to attention-grabbing, slightly sinister or playful-horror messaging rather than neutral communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, highly characterful look by modernizing blackletter cues into a sharper, more geometric silhouette. Its consistent chiseled construction prioritizes impact and atmosphere, functioning as a decorative voice for themed branding and titling.
In running text the repeated spikes and narrow openings create a dense, high-texture color that becomes the dominant visual feature. The distinctive shapes make individual words feel like graphic marks, with readability relying more on familiar word shapes than on open counters.
