A dense, heavy blackletter with compact proportions and tightly packed counters. Strokes are mostly upright with broken, angular terminals and frequent spurs, giving letters a carved, fractured silhouette. The weight is robust and inky, while internal shapes and edges show a rough, irregular texture that reads like distressed ink or worn metal. Capitals are highly embellished and dark, while lowercase forms keep a narrower, more rhythmic vertical structure; numerals follow the same sharp, jagged construction.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, album/merch graphics, titles, and bold brand marks where the gothic texture can be appreciated. It can work for large, decorative pull quotes or display lines, but will generally need generous size and careful tracking for extended reading.
The overall tone is archaic and severe, evoking manuscripts, gothic signage, and dark ceremonial atmospheres. Its distressed detailing adds grit and menace, pushing it toward horror, metal, and occult-adjacent aesthetics rather than polite historic revival.
The design appears intended to deliver an assertive blackletter voice with added distress, combining traditional fractured construction with a gritty, contemporary edge for dramatic display use.
At text sizes the heavy density and textured edges can cause counters to fill in and reduce clarity, especially in the most ornate capitals. Spacing appears intentionally tight, reinforcing a compact, emphatic word shape and strong page color.
