A dense, blackletter-inspired display face with chunky verticals, narrow internal counters, and pronounced faceted notches cut into the strokes. Terminals form sharp, horn-like points and small wedge serifs, creating a jagged silhouette and strong light–dark rhythm. Curves are minimized in favor of angular breaks, and many joins feel chiseled, giving the letters a carved, cut-paper look. The overall texture is heavy and compact, with a lively, uneven edge quality that reads as intentionally stylized rather than strictly calligraphic.
Best suited for large display settings where its sharp detailing can stay legible: band/artist marks, album or event posters, apparel graphics, and dramatic headlines. It can also work for short, punchy packaging or social graphics where an intense gothic texture is desired, but it’s not ideal for extended reading.
The font projects a dark, aggressive energy with medieval and metal-adjacent overtones. Its spiky contours and compact massing feel dramatic and confrontational, lending an ominous, rebellious tone. The ornamental cuts add a theatrical flair that can read as eerie or mischievous depending on context.
The design appears intended to remix blackletter structure into a bold, graphic statement with exaggerated spikes and carved-in facets. It prioritizes attitude and texture over neutrality, aiming to create an immediate, high-impact impression in contemporary alternative and dark-themed visuals.
In text, the strong vertical emphasis and tight counters create a saturated block of black, so clarity drops quickly at smaller sizes or in long paragraphs. Numerals and lowercase keep the same gothic vocabulary, which helps consistency but further reinforces its poster-first, impact-driven character.
