A condensed blackletter-inspired display face with sharply tapered stems and abrupt, blade-like terminals. Letterforms are built from thick verticals punctuated by narrow interior cuts and small notches, creating a serrated silhouette and a chiseled texture across words. Joins and shoulders stay angular rather than rounded, and many capitals feature pointed crowns and spear-like apexes. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with dramatic counters and ink-trap-like incisions that keep the shapes legible while maintaining an aggressive edge.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror film titles, haunted attraction promotions, metal or darkwave album covers, game branding, and theatrical posters. It can work for pull quotes or short headers on packaging and social graphics where a gothic, ominous atmosphere is desired, but it is less appropriate for body copy due to its dense, highly stylized texture.
The font projects an ominous, ritualistic tone—equal parts medieval and horror poster. Its spiked detailing and jagged edges read as threatening and supernatural, suggesting curses, crypts, and late-night cult cinema. In longer lines it creates a dense, foreboding wall of texture that feels loud and confrontational.
The design appears intended to modernize blackletter structure with exaggerated spikes and serrated cuts, prioritizing atmosphere and immediacy over neutrality. Its condensed build and heavy vertical emphasis aim to deliver maximum impact in tight horizontal spaces while maintaining a distinctly eerie, carved look.
The texture becomes highly patterned in paragraph-length samples, so spacing and line breaks will strongly affect readability. Numerals and punctuation carry the same pointed treatment, helping mixed content maintain a consistent, dramatic voice.
