A heavy, angular display face with fractured, hand-cut contours and pronounced blackletter structure. Strokes are dense and high-contrast, with sharp wedge-like terminals and notched joins that create a chiseled silhouette. Counters tend to be compact and irregular, and many glyphs show deliberate roughness along edges, giving the letterforms a distressed, ink-worn texture. The lowercase follows the same rigid rhythm as the uppercase, with narrow internal spaces and a strong vertical emphasis; numerals match the rugged, cut-from-wood feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as posters, event flyers, album or merch graphics, logotypes, and bold headlines. It also fits thematic packaging or labels where a historic or dark-fantasy atmosphere is desired and the text can be set large.
The overall tone is medieval and theatrical, leaning dark and confrontational. Its jagged texture and emphatic weight read as ominous and rebellious, evoking old-world proclamations, occult signage, and aggressive band-poster energy.
The design appears intended to fuse traditional blackletter construction with a deliberately distressed, hand-rendered finish, prioritizing atmosphere and impact over neutrality. Its bold massing and jagged detailing suggest a focus on expressive display use where texture is part of the message.
In text settings the heavy color and tight counters create a strong, continuous texture, while the distressed details add visual noise that becomes more apparent at larger sizes. Angular diagonals and spurred terminals keep the rhythm lively, but the roughened edges can reduce clarity in long passages or small point sizes.
