A sharp, blackletter-inspired display face with chunky, angular construction and frequent chamfered corners. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear in feel, while terminals break into jagged spikes and small torn-looking notches that create a distressed silhouette. Curves are largely faceted into polygonal bowls (notably in O, Q, and 0), and counters tend to be compact, giving the letters a dense, emphatic color. Lowercase forms echo the same texture, with narrow apertures and pointed joins that keep the rhythm tense and vertical.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where texture can be read at a glance—titles, logos, posters, packaging callouts, and on-screen headers. It works especially well for horror, dark fantasy, or heavy music contexts, and benefits from generous size and spacing to keep the spiky edges from crowding.
The overall tone is dark and threatening, with a horror-leaning grit that reads like clawed, splintered lettering. Its spiky edges and rough interruptions suggest danger, decay, and adrenaline, making the texture feel intentionally unsettling rather than merely rustic.
The design appears intended to blend gothic/blackletter structure with a distressed, torn-edge treatment to deliver an immediately eerie, high-contrast silhouette. The goal is strong personality and atmosphere over neutrality, with shapes optimized for dramatic display use.
The distressed effects are integrated consistently across the set, appearing as bite-like cuts along stems and bristled ends on horizontals. Numerals follow the same faceted, cut-stone logic as the caps, helping mixed text maintain a cohesive, poster-ready texture.
