A stylized blackletter display face with a pronounced rightward slant and compact, vertically oriented proportions. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals and sharp, blade-like serifs that form pointed hooks and notches. Bowls and counters are tight and faceted rather than round, and joins often create jagged interior angles that add a serrated rhythm across words. Uppercase forms feel built from narrow columns with decorative spikes, while lowercase keeps a consistent, calligraphic structure with crisp ascenders and angled feet.
Well-suited for display settings such as horror or fantasy posters, chapter titles, album/track artwork, and game or film branding where a gothic texture is desirable. It can work for short bursts of text—taglines, pull quotes, or headings—especially when paired with a simpler companion for body copy.
The overall tone is dark and ceremonial, evoking gothic signage, arcane manuscripts, and old-world drama. Its spiky terminals and fractured curves push it toward an eerie, haunted mood without relying on drips or overt novelty shapes. The slanted stance adds urgency and motion, reinforcing a suspenseful, storybook-horror atmosphere.
The design appears intended to modernize blackletter conventions into a legible, high-impact display style, emphasizing sharp terminals, faceted counters, and a lively slant to create a tense, atmospheric word color.
Spacing appears relatively tight, with many letters creating dark texture in continuous text; the font reads best when given generous size and some breathing room. Numerals follow the same angular, carved treatment, keeping the set cohesive for headline use.
