A heavy, angular display face with blackletter-inspired construction and sharp, faceted terminals. Stems are tall and rectangular with tight interior counters, and many joins break into small wedge-like notches that create a chiseled, cut-metal silhouette. Curves are minimized in favor of straight segments and pointed corners, producing a rhythmic pattern of verticals and jagged shoulders. Uppercase and lowercase share a similarly assertive texture, with compact bowls and pronounced corner cuts that keep the overall color dense and highly graphic.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short bursts of copy where a medieval or fantasy flavor is desired. It can work well for game and entertainment branding, event posters, packaging accents, and logo marks that benefit from a bold, carved blackletter look. Use generous tracking and ample size to preserve the inner counters and distinctive corner cuts.
The font projects a medieval, dramatic tone with a slightly mischievous edge. Its serrated details and rigid geometry evoke fantasy signage, gothic titles, and stylized “old world” theatrics rather than sober tradition. The overall feel is bold and theatrical, meant to grab attention and set a scene.
The design appears intended as a characterful, display-first blackletter remix—keeping the historic, vertical texture while exaggerating angular cuts and wedge terminals for a more playful, graphic impact. The goal seems to be strong presence and immediate thematic signaling rather than quiet readability in long text.
Letterforms read cleanly at display sizes, where the small corner incisions and wedge terminals become part of the personality; at smaller sizes those details may visually merge into a darker texture. Several glyphs lean on strong vertical repetition, giving lines of text a pronounced picket-fence rhythm.
