A compact, heavy blackletter-inspired display with tall verticals and tightly packed proportions. Strokes are largely monolinear and cut into faceted, angular forms, ending in sharp triangular notches and small spur-like terminals that create a sawtooth edge along stems and crossbars. Counters are small and squarish, and many joins form abrupt corners rather than smooth curves, giving the letters a chiseled, stencil-like rigidity. The overall texture is dense and rhythmic, with decorative bite-marks along edges that read clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, title cards, packaging headlines, and logo-like wordmarks where a strong gothic flavor is desired. It can also work well for fantasy or horror-themed media—game interfaces, book covers, or album art—especially when set at sizes large enough to preserve the sharp notches and tight counters.
The font projects a medieval, gothic mood while keeping a deliberately eccentric, slightly mischievous edge. Its sharp cuts and dark color create an ominous, dramatic tone, but the exaggerated spurs and quirky shapes keep it from feeling purely formal or traditional.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter structure in a heavier, more geometric and deliberately irregular way, emphasizing sharp terminals and a dense silhouette for instant impact. Its consistent spurs and angular carving suggest a focus on character and atmosphere over neutral readability.
The numerals share the same faceted construction and heavy presence as the letters, helping headings and short lines remain visually consistent. Interior spaces can close up quickly, so the design favors display settings where the distinctive edge details are visible.
