A heavy blackletter-inspired display with chunky, compact counters and a distinctly irregular perimeter. Strokes are cut with sharp notches and scalloped bites, producing a jagged silhouette that reads like torn paper or gnawed edges. Terminals are pointed and diamond-like, and interior joins form narrow, angular apertures that keep the texture dense. Overall spacing feels tight and the color is very dark, creating a strong, blocky rhythm across words and lines.
Best used as a display face for posters, headlines, packaging, and title treatments where a high-impact, darkly playful texture is desirable. It fits especially well in music and entertainment contexts—album art, game titles, haunted events, and themed promotions—where the jagged outline can be shown at generous sizes.
The letterforms project a theatrical, dark-fantasy attitude—equal parts ominous and tongue-in-cheek. Its spiky edges and distressed contours add a mischievous, wacky energy that suits supernatural or horror-leaning themes without becoming purely traditional or historical.
The design appears intended to fuse blackletter structure with an exaggerated, distressed edge treatment to create a one-off decorative voice. It prioritizes silhouette character and gritty texture over neutrality, aiming for instant thematic signaling in short text settings.
The irregular outline treatment is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving text a noisy, textured edge. At smaller sizes the interior cut-ins and tight counters can start to merge, while larger sizes emphasize the decorative perimeter work and faceted details.
