A very heavy display face with faceted, chiseled-looking strokes and sharp wedge terminals. Letterforms are built from broad black shapes broken by crisp notches and occasional internal cuts, creating a cut-paper or carved silhouette rather than smooth curves. Proportions lean wide with a tall lowercase presence, while widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, uneven rhythm. The design stays largely upright but introduces subtle lean and wobble through irregular contours and asymmetric joins, enhancing its hand-made character.
Best suited to large-scale display settings such as posters, headlines, gig and festival flyers, album/merch graphics, and logo wordmarks where its sharp silhouette can dominate. It can also work for themed packaging or signage when a dramatic, old-world-yet-rebellious voice is desired, but it will be less effective for long passages or small UI text.
The overall tone feels boisterous and theatrical, mixing medieval drama with a mischievous, punkish edge. Its aggressive angles and dense black mass read as loud and attention-seeking, while the irregularities add a playful, handmade energy.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional gothic letterform cues through a deliberately rough, hand-cut construction, prioritizing impact and attitude over uniformity. Its heavy color, angular cuts, and variable widths suggest a focus on expressive display typography that feels carved, stamped, or assembled from bold shapes.
Counters are often small and angular, and many glyphs rely on distinctive cuts and spurs for recognition, which boosts personality but can reduce clarity at small sizes. Numerals follow the same blocky, carved aesthetic, keeping the set visually consistent in headings and short bursts of text.
