A heavy, blackletter-style face with compact, blocky forms and narrow internal counters. Strokes feel hand-cut and slightly uneven, with rugged edges and small notches that create a distressed, inked texture rather than clean geometric construction. Capitals are ornate and angular with pronounced hooks and wedges, while lowercase maintains a dense, vertical rhythm and restrained apertures. Numerals are sturdy and stylized, matching the face’s broken, carved-in look and maintaining strong color on the line.
This font fits display applications where a strong gothic signal is desired: posters, album and merch graphics, game or film titles, bar or venue branding, and themed event materials. It works best at medium-to-large sizes where the rugged detailing and sharp terminals can be appreciated without clogging.
The overall tone is gothic and antique, evoking medieval manuscripts, occult or arcane themes, and a ceremonial, dramatic mood. Its rugged finish adds a gritty, underground energy that reads more like handmade lettering than formal calligraphy.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediately recognizable old-world blackletter voice with a deliberately rough, hand-rendered finish. It prioritizes atmosphere and impact—dense texture, ornamented capitals, and a chiseled silhouette—over quiet neutrality or long-form readability.
In the sample text, the dense texture produces strong word shapes and an emphatic “black” page color, especially at larger sizes. The irregularities and tight counters increase characterfulness but can make extended reading feel visually busy, reinforcing its display-oriented personality.
