A blackletter-inspired display face with heavy, blocky letterforms built from angular strokes and sharp, triangular terminals. The shapes feel carved or beveled, with small notches and inward cuts that create a faceted silhouette rather than smooth curves. Counters are compact and rounded where they appear (notably in O, Q, 8, 9), while joins and diagonals stay crisp and geometric. Spacing and widths vary noticeably by character, giving the text a rugged, hand-forged rhythm despite consistent stroke weight.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror and fantasy posters, title screens, album or event graphics, and themed packaging. It can work in larger blocks of text for atmospheric samples or pull quotes, but its dense blackletter texture is most effective when given generous size and breathing room.
The overall tone reads dark and ceremonial, evoking medieval signage, occult paraphernalia, and horror title cards. Its pointed terminals and chiseled details add tension and menace, while the sturdy massing keeps it assertive and headline-forward.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional blackletter forms into a bold, modern display tool, emphasizing sharp terminals and incised detailing to create a dramatic, ominous texture. The goal is immediate thematic signaling—dark, medieval, and supernatural—while keeping letterforms stout and legible at headline sizes.
The distinctive terminals and internal cut-ins create strong texture in paragraphs, with prominent peaks on letters like M, N, W and pronounced spur-like details on E, F, T, and S. Numerals match the same carved, gothic logic, maintaining a cohesive display personality across letters and figures.
