A heavy, blackletter-leaning display face with angular, chiseled forms and frequent notches that make strokes feel carved rather than drawn. Terminals are sharp and blocky, with inset counters and cut-in corners that create a jagged rhythm across words. Vertical stems dominate, while curved letters are rendered with faceted, segmented arcs, giving the whole design a sculptural, irregular texture. Spacing and letterforms feel intentionally uneven in small ways, reinforcing an artisanal, one-off character suited to short settings.
Best suited for posters, titles, packaging accents, and logo-style wordmarks where texture and attitude are desired. It also works well for event branding, album/track artwork, game or tabletop titling, and themed signage where a gothic or spooky tone supports the message.
The font reads as gothic and theatrical, with a mischievous, slightly menacing energy. Its carved, spiky details evoke old-world sign lettering and pulp-fantasy or haunted-house aesthetics, making it feel dramatic and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter cues into a punchy, decorative display voice, emphasizing carved notches, sharp corners, and dramatic silhouettes for maximum impact. It prioritizes personality and visual texture over seamless long-form readability.
In the sample text, the dense black shapes and interior cutouts create strong patterning at line level; readability holds in larger sizes but the many notches and narrow apertures can visually vibrate in long paragraphs. Numerals and capitals carry the same angular, incised logic, helping headings and badges look consistent across mixed-case and number-heavy layouts.
