A condensed blackletter-inspired display face with tall proportions and tightly spaced, upright forms. Strokes show moderate contrast with frequent tapering and sharp, wedge-like terminals, giving the letters a carved, blade-edged feel. Counters are narrow and often irregular, and many glyphs include roughened edges and uneven interior texture that reads like worn ink or distressed printing. The rhythm is intentionally restless: straight verticals dominate, while diagonals and hooks introduce jagged accents and slightly inconsistent outlines for a hand-worn finish.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as titles, headers, logos, posters, packaging accents, and editorial pull quotes where the gothic character and distressed texture can be appreciated. It works particularly well in themed contexts—horror, dark fantasy, mystery, and historical pastiche—while extended small-size reading may suffer from the narrow counters and rough detail.
The overall tone is dark, antique, and theatrical, evoking gothic signage and old-world printed ephemera. Its distressed texture adds grit and unease, making the font feel occult-leaning and story-driven rather than neutral or contemporary.
The design appears intended to fuse blackletter cues with a deliberately weathered print texture, creating a dramatic display face that feels aged and ominous. The condensed proportions and sharp terminals prioritize impact and atmosphere over neutrality.
Uppercase forms tend to be more ornate and rigidly vertical, while lowercase maintains a narrower, more calligraphic movement with spiky entry/exit strokes. Numerals match the same sharp, tapered language and appear designed for display use where texture and character are desirable.
