A condensed, blackletter-inspired display face built from tall vertical stems and sharp, wedge-like terminals. The strokes are largely uniform in thickness, with crisp interior cut-ins that create narrow counters and a rhythmic, columnar texture. Corners and joins resolve into faceted, pointed shapes rather than smooth curves, giving the letters a carved, stencil-like bite. In text, the tight spacing and repeated verticals form a dense, continuous pattern with occasional sharp descenders and compact punctuation.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as band or label marks, poster headlines, festival and event flyers, game or film titles, and editorial mastheads. It can also work for packaging or apparel graphics where a dense, gothic texture is desired, but it is less appropriate for long-form reading.
The overall tone feels gothic and theatrical, with a dark, ceremonial energy reminiscent of medieval manuscripts and metal-era titling. Its sharp terminals and compressed rhythm add urgency and intensity, making even simple phrases feel ominous and emphatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive blackletter flavor in a compact, modernized silhouette—maximizing presence through height, density, and sharp terminals while keeping stroke weight consistent for strong reproduction in display settings.
Several characters lean on similar vertical structures, so word shapes can become uniform at smaller sizes; it reads best when given room and used for impact. Numerals follow the same narrow, pointed construction, maintaining a consistent, banner-like texture across mixed alphanumerics.
