A dark, high-impact display face with tightly condensed proportions and sculpted, wedge-like terminals. Strokes are mostly monolinear in feel but shaped with sharp notches, flares, and tapered ends that create a chiseled silhouette. Curves are slightly squared and pulled into pointed corners, while counters tend to be narrow and vertical, giving the letters a tall, tense rhythm. The lowercase follows the same angular logic with compact bowls and short ascenders/descenders, and the numerals echo the compressed, carved forms for a consistent texture in mixed text.
Best suited for display uses such as posters, album/cover art, title treatments, game or film lettering, and themed packaging where atmosphere matters more than long-form legibility. It can also work for short pull quotes or logos when given enough size and spacing to let the cut-in details read clearly.
The overall tone is gothic and dramatic, suggesting a medieval or occult-leaning atmosphere without fully adopting traditional blackletter construction. Its spiked terminals and compressed cadence feel ominous, theatrical, and slightly mischievous, making ordinary phrases read like a headline or incantation.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a condensed, attention-grabbing voice with gothic undertones, using flared terminals and sharp notches to evoke carved or forged lettering. The intent is to provide a distinctive, characterful alternative to neutral condensed sans styles for genre-forward branding and titling.
The design favors distinctive silhouettes over neutral readability: sharp interior cuts and flared ends create strong texture at size, while fine details may visually merge in small settings. Word shapes stay cohesive thanks to consistent terminal behavior and a steady vertical emphasis across caps, lowercase, and figures.
