A very heavy, high-contrast display face with blackletter influence and a hand-inked, cut-paper feel. Strokes are dense and compact, with sharp internal notches, wedge-like joins, and occasional bulbous terminals that create a lively, uneven rhythm. Curves are simplified into faceted arcs, while verticals feel slightly irregular, enhancing a drawn, tactile texture. The overall color is dark and emphatic, with tight counters and distinctive, expressive silhouettes across both cases and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and book or album covers where its dense texture can read as intentional atmosphere. It can also work for labels, tavern-style signage, or themed editorial callouts when used at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The font projects a medieval, gothic tone with a bold, theatrical voice. Its rugged, hand-made energy suggests tradition, folklore, and a slightly mischievous or sinister edge, making text feel ceremonial and emphatic rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold blackletter flavor with a hand-rendered, contemporary roughness—capturing historical cues while keeping shapes simplified and punchy for modern display use.
Caps show strong, emblematic shapes with pronounced angular cut-ins, while lowercase retains a sturdy, readable structure but keeps the same carved detailing. Numerals are chunky and stylized, matching the weight and contrast, and the ampersand is notably decorative, leaning toward an ornamental mark rather than a utilitarian connector.
