A faceted blackletter with sharp, chamfered terminals and polygonal joins that read as cut or chiseled rather than smoothly penned. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear in feel, with contrast expressed more through angled notches and internal counters than through swelling curves. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate with tall verticals, tight apertures, and crisp inside corners; rounded characters (O, C, G) are constructed from straight segments with clipped corners. Lowercase maintains the same angular texture, with pointed shoulders and short, abrupt arms; numerals follow the same blocky, beveled construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to short display settings where its angular texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, title cards, branding marks, album art, and game or film titling. It can work for badges and packaging accents when used at moderate-to-large sizes, but the tight counters and dense rhythm make it less ideal for long passages or small UI text.
The overall tone is gothic and forceful, evoking medieval inscriptions, metalwork, and fantasy or occult aesthetics. Its dense texture and blade-like angles give it a commanding, confrontational voice that feels ceremonial and darkly theatrical.
The design appears intended to modernize traditional blackletter by translating pen-driven forms into a crisp, geometric, cut-stone vocabulary. It prioritizes impact, uniform texture, and a strong historical/fantasy signal over softness or everyday readability.
Spacing appears fairly tight in running text, creating an even, rhythmic “black” color typical of display blackletters. Distinctive diagonals and chamfers help differentiate similar shapes, while the consistently clipped terminals reinforce a carved, geometric personality.
