A compact, angular display face with a hand-drawn blackletter flavor. Strokes are mostly vertical and slightly uneven, with faceted, chiseled-looking terminals and sharp internal corners that create a jagged rhythm. Counters tend to be small and tight, while curves are simplified into polygonal forms, giving rounds like O and Q a cut-from-paper silhouette. Uppercase forms are tall and narrow; lowercase letters are smaller with a notably low x-height and lively, inconsistent widths that reinforce an artisanal, drawn quality. Numerals follow the same spiky, carved construction and read best at larger sizes.
Works best for display applications such as posters, headlines, book and album covers, game and film titles, and themed packaging where a gothic or medieval atmosphere is desired. It is less suited to long-form small-size text, but can be effective for short blurbs, pull quotes, and labels when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is medieval and theatrical, with a dark, storybook energy. Its rough-edged construction suggests handmade signage, folklore, and dramatic titling rather than polished modern branding.
Likely designed to evoke a hand-rendered blackletter look with sharp, carved edges and a slightly unruly rhythm, prioritizing atmosphere and period character over typographic neutrality.
The texture is intentionally irregular: joins vary, terminals flare or notch, and several glyphs lean into exaggerated wedges and hooks that create strong word-shape character. In paragraph settings it produces a dense, high-texture gray, so generous tracking and larger sizes help maintain clarity.
