A heavy, blackletter-inspired display face built from chunky, faceted strokes and sharp triangular terminals. Forms are predominantly angular with frequent notches, arrowhead-like serifs, and broken-curve joins that create a lively, irregular rhythm. Counters are compact and sometimes asymmetrical, and several letters show simplified, geometric constructions rather than traditional text-letter proportions. Overall spacing and widths vary by glyph, emphasizing a hand-hewn, ornamental silhouette over strict regularity.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, packaging titles, logos, and themed headings where its distinctive silhouette can carry the design. It also fits fantasy or Halloween-adjacent graphics and game title treatments, but will feel busy in small text or long passages.
The tone is medieval-meets-cartoon: dark and archaic at a glance, but intentionally quirky in the details. Its jagged cuts, exaggerated points, and uneven cadence lend a mischievous, slightly chaotic energy that reads more theatrical than formal.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter forms into a bold, decorative display style with deliberate irregularities. It prioritizes character and recognizability—spiky terminals, carved-in facets, and playful distortions—over historical fidelity or text readability.
Uppercase characters tend to feel emblematic and crest-like, while the lowercase retains the same blackletter vocabulary but with more idiosyncratic shapes and occasional quirky curvature. Numerals follow the same chunky, angular logic, keeping visual weight consistent for headline use.
