A condensed, blackletter-influenced display face built from tall vertical stems and tight internal counters. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with sharp triangular notches and wedge-like terminals that create a sawtooth rhythm along the baseline and cap line. Curves are minimized in favor of angular joins and clipped corners, giving letters a rigid, cut-metal feel while still keeping distinct silhouettes across A–Z and a–z. Numerals follow the same narrow, pointed construction, maintaining a consistent texture in mixed text.
Best used for short, attention-grabbing settings such as titles, headlines, posters, and packaging where the angular details can be appreciated. It can also work for branding in genres that benefit from a gothic or occult mood, and for entertainment contexts like game or film titling. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous leading help keep the dense vertical texture readable.
The overall tone reads dark and theatrical, with a gothic edge that feels suited to dramatic, slightly mischievous messaging. The sharp terminals and compressed proportions add urgency and tension, pushing the design toward an eerie, poster-ready voice rather than a calm editorial one.
The design appears intended to remix blackletter cues into a compact, high-impact display style, emphasizing verticality and sharp, decorative terminals to create a distinctive, characterful texture. Its letterforms prioritize atmosphere and silhouette over neutrality, aiming to deliver instant mood in a small amount of space.
The lowercase retains the same vertical, broken-stroke logic as the uppercase, so case mixing stays stylistically unified. Spacing appears tuned for display impact, creating a strong vertical “stripe” texture in paragraphs while the pointed details add sparkle at larger sizes.
