A slanted, compact display face with chunky strokes and faceted, chamfer-like corners that create a cut-from-wood or chiseled silhouette. Letterforms are built from simplified blackletter structures: upright stems with clipped terminals, tight apertures, and occasional pointed joins, while bowls and curves are rounded but restrained. The overall texture is dense and rhythmic, with consistent stroke weight and subtle shaping that keeps counters small and forms sturdy. Capitals are tall and emphatic, and the lowercase keeps a steady x-height with narrow proportions and lively, hand-drawn irregularity.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, packaging, book or album covers, and entertainment branding where a gothic or old-world voice is desired. It performs especially well in titles, pull quotes, and short phrases; for longer text, larger sizes and slightly increased letterspacing help maintain clarity.
The font projects a medieval, gothic tone with a bold, storybook bite—part old-world signage, part fantasy title lettering. Its slant and softened corners keep it approachable rather than strictly formal, giving it a spirited, rustic character suited to dramatic or folkloric themes.
The design appears intended to evoke blackletter heritage in a simplified, hand-rendered way—keeping the iconic angular structure while thickening and smoothing it for bold, contemporary display use. The consistent, carved-looking terminals and compact width suggest an aim for high impact and strong thematic flavor in headings.
Numerals and punctuation follow the same faceted, inked look, helping the set feel cohesive in headlines and short runs of text. The sample lines show a strong left-to-right momentum from the slant, while the compact spacing and small counters create a dark, poster-like color that benefits from generous tracking at larger sizes.
