A condensed, vertical blackletter-inspired design built from straight stems and sharp, faceted terminals. Strokes are strongly modulated, with thick verticals contrasted by thin interior cuts and notches that create a chiseled, ribbon-like feel. The outlines favor hard angles over curves, and many joins end in pointed wedges that produce a consistent, blade-like rhythm. Counters are tight and rectangular, and the overall texture is dark and compact, reading best at display sizes where the internal details remain crisp.
Well suited for display typography in posters, titles, logos, and branding that benefits from a gothic or old-world voice. It can work effectively on album covers, game/film key art, event flyers, and packaging where a dense, dramatic texture is desirable. Longer passages may require generous sizing and spacing to preserve legibility of the internal cuts.
The font projects a gothic, medieval tone with a stern, ceremonial edge. Its sharp geometry and dense texture feel dramatic and slightly ominous, evoking signage, proclamations, and theatrical or fantasy-themed lettering rather than everyday text.
The design appears intended to deliver a stylized, blackletter-like presence with a modern, sharply cut silhouette. By compressing the proportions and emphasizing pointed terminals and internal notches, it aims to create an assertive display face with strong thematic flavor and immediate visual impact.
Uppercase and lowercase share a unified, monolinear vertical structure with distinctive cut-in apertures and occasional asymmetric spikes that add character. Numerals follow the same angular construction, with straight-sided forms and pointed terminals that keep the set visually cohesive.
