A decorative blackletter-inspired display face with heavy, blocky strokes and sharply notched, wedge-like terminals. Letterforms are built from angular segments with frequent inward cuts that create a jagged silhouette and high texture. Counters tend to be compact and irregularly shaped, and many joins form pointed interior corners rather than smooth curves. The rhythm is energetic and uneven in a deliberate way, producing a dense, patterned line when set in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, cover art, branding marks, and dramatic packaging. It can work for themed pieces—fantasy, horror, metal, or historical pastiche—where texture and attitude matter more than long-form readability.
The overall tone is gothic and dramatic, evoking medieval signage and occult or horror titling. Its sharp cuts and assertive weight feel confrontational and theatrical, leaning into a wilder, more playful edge than a formal old-style blackletter.
The design appears intended to fuse blackletter DNA with exaggerated notches and flares to create an eye-catching, characterful display style. It prioritizes silhouette and texture, aiming for a striking, slightly unruly presence in titles and branding.
In longer samples the font creates a strong “color” and pronounced texture, with spurs and notches that can visually tangle at tighter spacing. Uppercase forms read as emblematic and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps the same aggressive, spiked logic for a consistent display voice.
