A rugged blackletter-inspired display face with angular, broken strokes and deliberately irregular contours. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic construction with wedge-like terminals, faceted curves, and occasional notches that create a carved, distressed edge. Counters are relatively compact and the rhythm is lively rather than uniform, with subtly inconsistent stroke joins and widths that enhance a handmade, worn-print feel. Uppercase forms are bold and emblematic, while the lowercase keeps a similarly gothic skeleton with simplified, readable shapes for longer words.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, chapter titles, album art, and packaging where a gothic or antiquarian atmosphere is desired. It can also work for themed interfaces and event graphics (horror, fantasy, renaissance) where texture and character are more important than long-form readability.
The overall tone feels medieval and ominous, evoking old broadsides, occult ephemera, and gothic signage. Its roughened finish adds grit and drama, suggesting age, ink spread, or abrasion rather than clean modern precision.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter silhouette while adding a distressed, chiseled surface for instant thematic impact. Its consistent gothic structure paired with controlled roughness suggests a font meant to feel historic and dramatic without becoming fully chaotic or illegible.
In text, the texture becomes more pronounced: the distressed edges create a dark, flickering color on the line, and tight interior spaces can visually fill in at smaller sizes. The numerals and capitals read as strong decorative elements, making the face especially effective when set with generous tracking and ample size.
