A condensed blackletter-inspired display face with jagged, distressed outlines and uneven stroke edges that feel torn or eroded. Vertical stems dominate, with sharp wedges, notched terminals, and occasional interior pinching that creates a rough, hand-worn rhythm. Counters are compact and irregular, and the overall silhouette stays upright and columnar while individual letters vary in width and texture, reinforcing an intentionally imperfect, gritty print look.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as titles, posters, packaging callouts, and thematic branding where texture is an asset. It works well for horror or supernatural campaigns, dark event flyers, and entertainment graphics, especially when paired with a simpler secondary text face for body copy.
The texture and spiky terminals give the type a sinister, folklore-leaning tone—more haunted broadsheet than polished gothic. It reads as eerie and dramatic rather than elegant, with an aged, unsettling energy that suits horror, occult, and dark-fantasy themes.
The design appears intended to evoke distressed gothic lettering through a condensed, upright structure and aggressively roughened edges. Its consistent use of spurs, notches, and ragged contours suggests a deliberate move toward atmospheric storytelling and dramatic headline presence rather than neutrality or continuous reading.
At larger sizes the distressed contouring becomes a defining feature, while at smaller sizes the rough edges and tight counters can visually fill in. Numerals and capitals carry especially strong verticality, which helps headlines feel tall and commanding but can create dense blocks in long lines.
