A decorative blackletter-inspired display face with tall, tightly packed proportions and heavy, blocky strokes. The forms are built from straight verticals and sharp angles, with small broken joins and pointed terminals that create a jagged silhouette. Counters are narrow and rectangular, and many letters show faceted corners and notch-like cuts that emphasize a chiseled, cut-out look. Uppercase and lowercase share a strong vertical rhythm, with compact apertures and a dense overall texture.
Best suited for short display use where its angular blackletter character can be appreciated: posters, title cards, album/merch graphics, game or event branding, and punchy logotypes. It can also work for themed packaging or labels that aim for a dark, medieval, or horror-leaning atmosphere, but it is less appropriate for long-form reading due to its dense texture.
The font projects a dramatic, dark, and slightly mischievous tone—part medieval manuscript, part horror poster. Its spiked edges and fractured details add an aggressive, energized feel that reads as theatrical and attention-seeking rather than traditional or formal.
Likely designed to reinterpret blackletter/Fraktur motifs into a bold, graphic display style with exaggerated points and intentional roughness. The goal appears to be immediate visual impact and a distinctive, edgy personality for entertainment and themed branding.
In text settings, the dense vertical rhythm can make word shapes feel compact and patterned, especially where multiple straight stems repeat (e.g., m/n/u). The distinctive blackletter construction is consistent across the alphabet, while the jagged terminals and notches introduce an intentionally irregular, wacky edge that keeps the texture lively.
