A sharply angular, faceted display face with steep rightward slant and a chiseled, blackletter-derived construction. Strokes alternate between thick vertical masses and razor-thin hairlines, with abrupt, knife-like terminals and small wedge notches that create a carved, crystalline rhythm. Letterforms are narrow and vertically emphatic, with broken-pen joins, tight internal counters, and occasional spur-like protrusions that enhance the cut-metal feel. Spacing reads compact and energetic, and the overall texture becomes dense and highly patterned in text settings.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as posters, album and merch graphics, mastheads, headlines, and logo wordmarks where the angular silhouette can be appreciated. It can work for branding that wants a medieval or extreme edge, but it benefits from generous size and careful tracking to preserve legibility.
The tone is dark, intense, and ceremonial, evoking medieval signage and heavy-metal or horror titling without relying on overt ornament. Its jagged facets and high-stakes contrast project urgency and theatricality, lending a confrontational, poster-ready voice that feels both historic and stylized.
The design appears intended to modernize blackletter energy through a more geometric, cut-stone treatment: steeply slanted forms, broken strokes, and crisp facets that read as carved or forged. The emphasis is on dramatic texture and distinctive silhouettes over continuous text readability.
The strong diagonal stress and frequent sharp corners make the texture lively but busy, especially at smaller sizes or in long lines. Capitals carry a more monumental presence, while lowercase maintains the same fractured logic, keeping the overall voice consistently spiky and architectural.
