A stylized display face with blackletter-inspired construction and a hand-cut, slightly irregular finish. Strokes are heavy and compact, with sharp wedge terminals, small spurs, and notched joins that create a carved, stencil-like silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and geometric, while curves (notably in C, G, S, and lowercase bowls) are guided by angular breaks rather than smooth transitions. Capitals feel tall and emphatic, and the lowercase maintains a steady x-height with pointed ascenders/descenders that echo the same jagged terminal language. Numerals follow the same blocky, spurred treatment for a cohesive set.
Well-suited to display applications where a gothic or occult-leaning aesthetic is desired—poster headlines, album or book covers, game and film titles, event flyers, and themed packaging. It can also work for logos or wordmarks when the spurred detailing is part of the brand voice and the setting size is generous.
The overall tone is dark, old-world, and theatrical, evoking medieval signage and horror or fantasy titling. The sharp edges and ornamental cuts give it an ominous, dramatic voice, while the hand-rendered roughness keeps it from feeling purely formal or mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a blackletter-flavored, hand-carved look with strong presence and ornamental bite. Its consistent spurs and angular cuts suggest a focus on mood and texture over neutral readability, optimized for impactful titling and stylized branding.
The face reads best when given room: the dense interior shapes and numerous spikes can visually merge at small sizes or in tight tracking. In mixed-case text it produces a strong texture with frequent pointed accents, making it especially attention-grabbing in short bursts rather than long paragraphs.
