A heavy, blackletter-inspired display face built from compact, vertical strokes and angular joins. Letterforms emphasize straight-sided bowls, faceted curves, and chiseled-looking cuts, with sharp wedge terminals and occasional hooked descenders that create a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters are small and often rectangular, and the overall texture is dark and dense, with crisp edges and a distinctly carved silhouette across both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where texture and attitude are the priority: posters, event or venue headlines, titles for games and fantasy media, album/merch graphics, and logo wordmarks that want a gothic or medieval imprint. It performs most confidently at larger sizes where the sharp cuts and tight counters remain legible.
The font projects a medieval, arcane mood—part gothic signage, part storybook villainy. Its jagged contours and emphatic verticality feel ceremonial and dramatic, suggesting ritual, mystery, and old-world authority with a playful, slightly wacky edge in the more idiosyncratic shapes.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter forms into a bold, compact, highly graphic display style, prioritizing silhouette, density, and theatrical character over neutral readability. Its consistent chiseled detailing and assertive vertical structure aim to deliver an immediately recognizable, old-world atmosphere in modern headline contexts.
The alphabet shows deliberate stylistic quirks (notably in letters with tails and diagonals) that heighten character but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same cut, angular language, keeping the set visually consistent for headlines and short readouts.
