A heavy, angular blackletter with faceted, uneven contours and a distinctly hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are built from chunky slabs and sharp corners, with narrow interior counters and frequent wedge-like notches that create a carved, stencil-adjacent feel. Capitals are tall and imposing with abrupt terminals and broken-looking joins, while lowercase maintains a compact, dark texture with occasional asymmetry and quirky curves. Numerals echo the same jagged, cut-paper geometry, reading best at display sizes where the internal cutouts and notches stay clear.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event titles, album or track artwork, game and fantasy branding, and label/packaging moments that benefit from a dramatic gothic voice. It can work for pull quotes or brief passages when set large with generous tracking to preserve counters and interior cuts.
The overall tone is medieval and gothic, but pushed into a more playful, unruly register. Its roughened edges and exaggerated shapes feel theatrical and loud, suggesting folklore, taverns, posters, and mischief rather than formal manuscript restraint.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter through a deliberately irregular, hand-cut lens—maximizing dark presence and angular drama while keeping a slightly humorous, rowdy energy for contemporary display use.
Spacing and rhythm create a dense, black mass in text, with pronounced shape variation from letter to letter that adds character but reduces long-form readability. Distinctive internal slits and notches help separate forms in bold settings, especially in capitals and rounded letters.
