A condensed, highly stylized display face with blackletter-inspired construction and sharp, wedge-like terminals. Strokes feel slightly irregular and hand-cut, with tapered joins, pinched counters, and occasional asymmetric hooks that give the letterforms a lively, unstable rhythm. Curves are narrow and upright, while verticals dominate, producing a tall silhouette and tight internal spacing. Numerals follow the same pointed, chiseled logic, keeping a consistent texture across lines of text.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, title cards, and themed event graphics where the spiky texture can be a feature rather than a distraction. It can work for horror, Halloween, fantasy, or quirky editorial accents, but is likely to become tiring at small sizes or in long passages.
The overall tone is theatrical and off-kilter, mixing gothic menace with a playful, oddball edge. Its sharp contours and exaggerated narrowness suggest horror and fantasy cues, but the quirky inconsistencies keep it from reading as traditional or formal.
The design appears intended to evoke a blackletter-adjacent atmosphere while leaning into unconventional, characterful distortion. Its narrow proportions and aggressive terminals aim to create immediate impact and a memorable, slightly unsettling voice.
In longer samples, the dense vertical pattern creates a strong dark band of texture, especially in uppercase. The most distinctive character comes from the recurring spear-like terminals and the slightly warped, idiosyncratic details that make repeated letters feel deliberately non-uniform.
