A very heavy, blackletter-influenced display face with tall proportions, strong vertical rhythm, and crisp, angular construction. Strokes are sharply cut with frequent beveled corners and small notches that create a chiseled, faceted silhouette. Curves are minimized in favor of polygonal joins, giving counters a narrow, slot-like feel in letters such as B, P, and R. Terminals often end in flat slabs or pointed wedges, and the overall texture alternates between dense vertical stems and abrupt, geometric breaks for a deliberately irregular cadence.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as posters, album or event titles, branding marks, and packaging where texture and character are desired. It works well at large sizes and in single words or tight lines where the angular detailing can be appreciated without overwhelming readability.
The tone is bold and theatrical, mixing medieval/Gothic cues with a quirky, offbeat attitude. It reads as assertive and slightly mischievous rather than formal, with enough eccentric detailing to feel poster-like and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver a blackletter-like presence with a deliberately unconventional, carved geometry. Its heavy massing and frequent chamfers aim to create a distinctive, one-off display voice that feels both old-world and playfully distorted.
Caps are especially imposing and monument-like, while the lowercase keeps the same cut-stone logic but introduces more idiosyncratic shapes (notably in a, g, and t). Numerals follow the same angular, notched style and appear designed to match headline settings more than continuous text.
