An angular blackletter-inspired display face with tall, compact proportions and sharp, wedge-like terminals. Strokes are predominantly straight and vertical with low contrast, creating a dense, chiseled texture. Counters are small and often rectangular, while joins and corners form pointed notches and dagger-like descenders. Overall rhythm is tight and linear, with simplified fraktur cues rather than fully calligraphic broken strokes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, title cards, logos, album/track artwork, and game or fantasy branding. It can also work for themed packaging or event graphics where a gothic/medieval mood is desirable, but its dense texture makes it less suitable for long body text.
The font projects a dark, ceremonial tone—evoking gothic signage, medieval fantasy, and heavy-metal or horror-adjacent titling. Its sharp corners and compressed cadence feel assertive and slightly menacing, prioritizing atmosphere over neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a stylized blackletter atmosphere with simplified geometry and strong verticality, aiming for bold thematic flavor and immediate recognition in display contexts.
Capitals read as architectural and monolithic, while lowercase forms keep the same broken, angular logic with distinctive hooked descenders on letters like g, j, p, and q. Numerals follow the same faceted construction and look designed to blend seamlessly with the letterforms in headings.
